Celine Dion’s sister has shared an update while the “New Day Has Come” singer deals with a rare health issue.
“She’s doing everything to recover,” Dion’s older sister Claudette told Hello Canada on Thursday. “She’s a strong woman.”
She is battling Stiff Persons Syndrome. A rare disorder that causes involuntary muscle spasms
“It’s an illness we know so little about,” Claudette said. “There are spasms – they’re impossible to control.
She added that “there’s little we can do to support her, to alleviate her pain.”
Celine Dion last year December announced she had been diagnosed with the syndrome, and was taking time off from professional commitments to focus on her
Claudette says that the family is crossing fingers that researchers will find a remedy for the awful illness
The Canadian publication also said Dion has been based in Las Vegas where she’s working with a team of doctors as well as a sports medicine therapist to regain her strength.
