1 min read
Celine Dion, the renowned Canadian singer, has opened up about her experiences with Stiff Person Syndrome, a rare neurological disorder.
In an interview with NBC News, the 56-year-old singer discussed how the condition has affected her health, causing excruciating cramps, broken ribs, and muscle spasms.
Dion described the symptoms, including feeling strangled and unable to move or speak in her signature powerful voice.
“It’s like somebody is strangling you. It’s like somebody is pushing your larynx/pharynx. It was like talking like that, and you cannot go high or lower,” she said.
It feels like, if I point my feet, they will stay in (that position). Or, if I cook – because I love to cook – my fingers, my hands, will get in position … It’s cramping but it’s like in a position where you cannot unlock them.
“I have broken ribs at one point because sometimes when its very severe, it can break.”
Despite the challenges, she remains determined to manage and live with the condition, which she was diagnosed with in 2022.
