It will soon be a year since 55-year-old Celine Dion suspended her career and withdrew from public life. The singer struggles with an incurable disease called stiff person syndrome. This extremely rare disease involves progressive stiffening of the skeletal system. Despite this, the star remains in contact with fans. In recent months, she assured them that she would do everything to regain her strength, but “the pain she experiences, which is indescribable, weakens her more and more.”
The legendary singer is fighting a rare disease. “We’ll get through this”
Her older sister, Claudette Dion, talked to a Canadian portal about the artist’s fight with the disease. Although her words do not fill us with optimism, everyone believes that the world-famous singer will return to the stage.
– I know she’s been to Denver a few times because there are great researchers there. Fingers crossed. There’s only so much we can do. To tell her how much we love her and wish her all the best, Claudette said.
In the interview, she also pointed out that Celine Dion herself is in good spirits and still believes that her health will improve. The woman revealed what words she recently heard from the star. She also thanked the support that the entire family receives from strangers from all over the world in these difficult moments.
We have received some beautiful letters and we are trying our best to get Celine to read them. I know she is mentally very strong. She is not depressed at all, on the contrary – she is full of joy of life. She told me recently: ‘We will get through this, I listen to everything they tell me and I do it with commitment, because I want to come back, that’s for sure.’ – we read in the interview.
Claudette Dion also used the opportunity to deny rumors that her sister is currently in a wheelchair. This is the result of earlier reports by Radar Online, which, citing a person close to the singer, wrote that Celine Dion was still struggling with mobility difficulties. She was also suffering from painful contractions, which meant she was no longer allowed to leave the house.
Moersch-Woltman syndrome, i.e. the so-called “stiff man syndrome”
Stiff man syndrome, also known as Moersch-Woltmann syndrome, is a very rare neurological disorder. It is characterized by progressive, variable muscle and joint stiffness and muscle spasms. The most common symptoms include: pain in the lower back, stiffness in the shoulders, neck and hips, and increasing pain and stiffness in the legs. Pharmacology and finding the right specialist who has experience in preventing the recurrence of this type of disease are very important in curing this disease.
