Céline Dion, the iconic Canadian singer known for her powerful vocals and timeless ballads, is facing a personal battle with Stiff Person Syndrome (SPS). Diagnosed with the rare autoimmune disorder in 2022, Dion has spoken openly about the challenges she faces while maintaining a hopeful outlook. Living with Stiff Person Syndrome: A Relentless Pursuit of Recovery In a recent interview with Vogue France, Dion revealed her ongoing struggle with SPS. The incurable condition causes muscle stiffness and spasms, often impacting the lower body and back. While acknowledging the lack of a cure, Dion expresses her unwavering optimism: Céline Dion "I haven't beaten the disease, as it's still within me and always will be. I hope that we'll find a miracle, a way to cure it with scientific research, but for now, I have to learn to live with it." Dion's determination shines through as she describes her rigorous rehabilitation routine: "I work on my toes, my knees, my calves, my fingers, my singing, my voice… I have to learn to live with it now and stop questioning myself. At the beginning I would ask myself: why me? How did this happen? What have I done? Is this my fault?" Embracing a New Reality: From Self-Doubt to Unwavering Will Dion acknowledges the initial emotional turmoil following her diagnosis. However, she has shifted her focus towards a proactive approach, embracing a disciplined therapy schedule and a renewed sense of purpose: "Life doesn't give you any answers. You just have to live it! I have this illness for some unknown reason. The way I see it, I have two choices. Either I train like an athlete and work super hard, or I switch off and it’s over, I stay at home, listen to my songs, stand in front of my mirror, and sing to myself. I've chosen to work with all my body and soul, from head to toe, with a medical team. I want to be the best I can be. My goal is to see the Eiffel Tower again!" This determination extends beyond physical therapy. Dion emphasizes the importance of maintaining a positive outlook and setting realistic goals: "It's morally hard to live from day to day. It's hard, I'm working very hard and tomorrow will be even harder. Tomorrow is another day. But there's one thing that will never stop, and that's the will. It's the passion. It's the dream. It's the determination." The Power of Support: Family, Fans, and the Will to Perform Despite the uncertainties surrounding her future touring capabilities, Dion expresses her immense gratitude for the unwavering support system that surrounds her: "The love of my family and my children, the love of the fans too, and the support of my team" is what helps her keep going. This love and support provide a source of strength as she navigates the challenges of her condition: "I can't answer" whether she will tour ever again. "For four years I've been saying to myself that I'm not going back, that I'm ready, that I'm not ready… As things stand, I can't stand here and say to you: 'Yes, in four months.' I don't know… My body will tell me." While the future of touring remains uncertain, Dion's commitment to her music and her fans remains unwavering.

Dealing with a high decibel day 🔊 • Today the house is getting cleaned. That means that there is a fair amount of noise happening. I have hyperacusis - an increased sensitivity to noises especially of certain decibel levels. I do my best to avoid certain noises (like the vacuum) but on days like today I can’t. So I’m in bed (my safe space) with my noise cancelling headphones on - which help a lot - and watching something. Bonus is that I have my soulmate (soulcat?) Muffin curled up on my lap giving me comfort. • What do you do when you can’t escape the noises? ••• ID: Katie in bed, giving the camera the peace sign. She has over the ear headphones on. She has her black cat Muffin on her lap • end ID ••• #chronicillness #chronicpain #grief #undiagnosed #invisibleillness #chronicillnesscollective #spoonie #disabled #medicalmystery #selfcare #youarenotalone #alwayskeepfighting #mentalhealthmatters #raredisease #stiffpersonsyndrome #goldenhart #butyoudontlooksick #fightlikeawarrior #noisesensitivity #hyperacusis #sickfightsback #unchargeable #chronicillnesswarrior #spoonielife #chronicallyill #spooniestrong #chronicillnesscommunity #ibs #depression (at Kawartha Lakes) https://www.instagram.com/p/CZZ7ntcuG8y/?utm_medium=tumblr

A new weird pain 🙃 • I slept for 7 hours last night. That happens very very very rarely. I woke up feeling well rested and ready to accomplish things today. Well life with chronic illness means you should always been ready for plans to change. After having breakfast, tea, and a productive conversation with my dad about the realities of building our new house (more on that another time), I started to get pain in my ribs. Not uncommon, my ribs are all out of whack and I should probably be stretching more 😳. However, when I got off the couch to go have a shower I suddenly felt the pain radiate around my entire middle and it was stopping me from taking a full breathe without agonizing pain. I couldn’t stand or sit comfortably so after having a warm bath and washing my hair I stayed in the lukewarm bath water because my pain was minimal. I didn’t want to move and for it to get bad again. Eventually I needed to get out. I was okay for about 5 minutes but then the pain became horrendous again. Since then I’ve been in bed with 2 heating pads and only able to be at a certain angle (thank god for my adjustable bed). • It’s been an odd day. I don’t know what I did or what is making my ribs hurt so very much but I guess this is what life with chronic pain is. Sometimes I just get so used to my “normal pain” that I forget to expect new weird pains. ••• What’s been your weirdest pain? ••• ID: Katie is in bed wearing a tank top with the blankets up to her chest. Her hair is a mess, as is her nightstand. She is smiling at the camera • end ID ••• #chronicillness #chronicpain #grief #undiagnosed #invisibleillness #chronicillnesscollective #spoonie #disabled #medicalmystery #selfcare #youarenotalone #alwayskeepfighting #mentalhealthmatters #raredisease #stiffpersonsyndrome #goldenhart #butyoudontlooksick #fightlikeawarrior #noisesensitivity #hyperacusis #sickfightsback #unchargeable #chronicillnesswarrior #spoonielife #chronicallyill #spooniestrong #chronicillnesscommunity #ibs #depression (at Kawartha Lakes) https://www.instagram.com/p/CZVVj89sZA5/?utm_medium=tumblr
