Celine Dion is getting candid about her battle with Stiff Person Syndrome.
More details below…
In a new interview with Today, the singer shared that it feels like “somebody’s pushing your larynx, pharynx, this way.”
“It’s like you’re talking like that, and you cannot go higher or lower,” she continued.
Dion was diagnosed with the condition in 2022 and it causes progressive muscular stiffness.
She shared that the spasms can be in her abdominal region as well as in the spine or the ribs.
“It feels like if I point my feet, it will stay in [that position]. Or, if I cook — because I love to cook — my fingers, my hands will get in position. It’s cramping, but it’s like in a position of like, you cannot unlock them,” Dion said.
“Sometimes, when it’s very severe, it can break some ribs,” she continued.
Her condition will be part of her new documentary ‘I Am: Celine Dion’ airing on Prime Video starting June 25.
