Celine Dion Delivers Inspiring PSA On Stiff Person Syndrome Awareness Day
HuffPost
The “My Heart Will Go On” singer was diagnosed with the rare autoimmune disorder in 2022.
Celine Dion, who lives with Stiff Person Syndrome, is speaking up for the cause.
The “My Heart Will Go On” singer was famously diagnosed with this autoimmune disorder in late 2022 and, after more than a year of navigating its muscle spasms and stiffness, spoke out about her experiences on Friday, International Stiff Person Awareness Day.
“As many of you know, in the fall of 2022, I was diagnosed with Stiff Person Syndrome (SPS),” Dion captioned a photo of herself and her three children on Friday.
“Trying to overcome this autoimmune disorder has been one of the hardest experiences of my life,” the five-time Grammy winner continued, “but I remain determined to one day get back onto the stage and to live as normal of a life as possible.”
The French-Canadian singer announced in December 2022 that she had been dealing with health issues for “a long time” — and canceled her world tour after confirming her newfound condition.
