Celine Dion says she has stiff-person syndrome — but what is that?

What is “stiff-person syndrome,” the condition that has prompted Canadian singing icon Celine Dion to cancel a series of performances?affects around one in a million people, causes spasms that are affecting her ability to walk and sing., it’s an autoimmune disease that presents symptoms like changes to posture, increased stress and anxiety, breathing complications and issues with mobility.

But getting a diagnosis for the incurable condition isn’t easy, with the organization saying it takes five to seven years to diagnose, in part because it’s rare and “not recognized by medical providers.” Often, the condition is misdiagnosed for multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s, fibromyalgia or other autoimmune diseases.

The cause of the disease isn’t certain, the foundation says, but there are different types based on clinical and physical symptoms. As the disease is incurable, treatments, like muscle relaxants and antiseizure medication, are mainly used to provide patients with symptom relief.

Hopefully she is still able to sing and preform. I always thought that guy Rene was a little sleazy. What with dating a woman half his age.

What are the odds ‘Stiff Person Syndrome’ changes its name like ‘Monkey Pox’ celinedion

Sounds like the same symptoms that some if the list vaxed are experiencing. Did Beiber’s bell palsy resolve?

A lot of people dying from weakened immune systems…. Wonder what caused that

You're also more likely to get this if you take that mRNA poison

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 we know where this came from

Her diagnoses is exactly a side effect of Pfizer injections. There is 20 pages of severe reactions . Strokes, blood clots, heart attacks, neurological diseases, seizures and death. Inject poison get ready to be poisoned. It’s not rocket science.

let me guess ..... a vaccine could have cured this LOL

Side effect of the Clot-Shot.

How many people in this world have this 'syndrome'? One?

My husband has a very rare disease 'Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia'........no one cares.

Thanks doctor Justin the violent discriminator Trudeau you managed to destroy more Canadian culture

Pfizer lists it as a post-vaccine adverse event on page 8 of the 9 pages they released. News is reporting it's a one in a million chance of getting it. I've never heard of it before now. (same as myocarditis/pericarditis/SADS...) But I guess I'm just a conspiracy theorist.

Fake and hypochondriac

Caused by the COVID jab

I’m sure her booster shot had nothing to do with it…

Experts say you can get it from taking too much Viagra.

It’s vaccine induced! Stop injecting this death shot.

How has this diagnosis changed anything? She has been the stiffest person in show business for years!

Someone give this women more boosters 🤡

These “news” orgs literally just look at what eachother is posting all day. How can u all have Celine dion takes?

Celebrities always have some unusual diseases. Even in sickness they must be special.

Tell me about it.

Just another case of ChronicCoincidence

It’s what Jagmeet Singh suffers from when he’s around Justin Trudeau
