Celine Dion has made progress in understanding the root of her numerous health issues.
Celine Dion revealed the primary cause of her health issues in an emotional video that was shared on Instagram on Thursday, December 8.
All of Celine Dion’s dates on her upcoming European tour will be postponed due to the recently revealed health condition.
“Hello, everyone. I’m sorry it’s taken me so long to reach out to you. I miss you all so much and I can’t wait to be on stage talking to you in person,” Dion said in the video.
“As you know, I’ve always been an open book and I wasn’t ready to say anything before, but I’m ready now. I’ve been dealing with problems with my health for a long time and it’s been really difficult for me to face these challenges and to talk about everything that I’ve been going through.
“Recently, I’ve been diagnosed with a very rare neurological disorder called the stiff-person syndrome, which affects something like one in a million people. While we’re still learning about this rare condition, we now know this is what’s been causing all of the spasms that I’ve been having. Unfortunately, these spasms affect every aspect of my daily life, sometimes causing difficulties when I walk and not allowing me to use my vocal chords to sing the way I’m used to.”
The singer had to postpone her tour dates due to health issues.
“It hurts me to tell you today that this means I won’t be ready to restart my tour in Europe in February,” she said, while choking up. “I have a great team of doctors working alongside me to help me get better and my precious children, who are supporting me and giving me hope.”
Celine reveals that getting better is a tough challenge.
“I’m working hard with my sports medicine therapist every day to build back my strength and my ability to perform again, but I have to admit it’s been a struggle,” she said. “All I know is singing. It’s what I’ve done all my life and it’s what I love to do the most.
“I miss you so much. I miss seeing all of you, being on the stage performing for you. I always give a hundred percent when I do my shows, but my condition is now allowing me to give you that right now,” she continued.
Dion ended her message with a note of optimism, expressing appreciation for her fans.
By the end of the speech, Dion added a note of optimism, expressing deep appreciation for her fans: “I want to thank you so much for your encouraging wishes and love and support on my social media. This means a lot to me,” she said. “Take care of yourselves. Be well. I love you guys so much and I really hope I can see you again real soon.”
“I’m getting treatment from my doctors, taking medication, but I’m still experiencing some spasms and it’s taking a lot longer for me to recover than I had hoped,” she said in an Instagram video in April.
“SPS is characterized by fluctuating muscle rigidity in the trunk and limbs and a heightened sensitivity to stimuli such as noise, touch, and emotional distress, which can set off muscle spasms,” NIH said on its website. “Abnormal postures, often hunched over and stiffened, are characteristic of the disorder.”
This strange syndrome affects women twice as often as it does men. According to the institute, loud noises might potentially cause falls or spasms.
What causes SPS is unknown, although it “is frequently misdiagnosed as Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, fibromyalgia, psychosomatic illness, anxiety and phobia,” NIH notes it.
All the tour dates are rescheduled for the first the first 2 quarters in 2024.
We’ll continue to pray for her and send our best wishes for a speedy recovery. Your wonderful voice and presence are missed.
