Pop icon Celine Dion revealed that she will be cancelling her upcoming shows after being diagnosed with an incurable neurological disorder that turns people into “human statues.”
The “My Heart Will Go On” legend broke the heartrending news in a teary-eyed Instagram video Thursday.
“As you know I’ve always been an open book and I wasn’t ready to say anything before but i’m ready now,” the 54-year-old Grammy-winner said in the devastating clip. “I’ve been dealing with problems with my health for a long time and it’s been really difficult for me to face my challenges and to talk about everything that I’ve been going through.”
Dion then revealed that she’d been diagnosed with a “a very rare neurological disorder called the stiff person syndrome which affects 1 in a million people.”

According to RareDiseases.org, Stiff Person Syndrome is a “rare acquired neurological disorder characterized by progressive muscle stiffness (rigidity) and repeated episodes of painful muscle spasms.”

I have a physically disability caused by the GOP pulling the football back just as I swing to kick it.
That's what the frigid females like to think. Fact is they're flat-out afraid of and confused by men and instead want to compete with them. Goes back to Eve in the garden fooled completely by Satan and taking his side (Adam, as today, went along with her but wasn't fooled).
THE reason for skyrocketing divorce rate.
Sadness.
There's still a lot of females who love being a girls and love guys being guys.
The most common side effect with statins is sore muscles. Especially in you upper legs because those are the largest muscles in your body.
I have tried five different statins for high cholesterol. Every one eventually had that effect on me including Red Yeast rice capsules.
I’m waiting for leftists demand she be removed.
Sure, but I must say I had that “infirmity” for many years but alas, now in my eighties it has greatly diminished such that it is no longer a “problem”.😎
Statins are for cholesterol.
If the stiffness lasts longer than 4 hours.....
Stiff-person syndrome (SPS), also known as stiff-man syndrome (SMS) ...
"Stiff-Man Syndrome" is something else.
Supposed to be neurological based, not orthopedic, i.e musculoskeletal system based.
Wasn’t she pushing a gender neuatral clothing line on kids?
One of the many reasons I changed doctors. He wouldn’t listen and kept prescribing statins. Which I will not take...
Not one or the other. Both.
my ex dil’s sister has it...it is certainly no joke.....I believe she’s had a round or two of Rituxan.....
You are right. She has always looked like she had something severely wrong with her. My heart goes out to her because this sounds awful.
and FTR it used to be called “stiff man syndrome” until it got PC’d....been a nurse for several decades and I had exactly ONE patient who ever came in with it....its exceedingly rare.
At some point with age alone her singing ability will deteriorate.
There was a time when she was good looking.But in recent photos she looks like a survivor of a North Korean work camp.
I think he’s for them.
