Celine Dion’s sister shares somber news: singer lacks muscle control
Celine Dion’s Sister Gives Sad Update on Singer’s Condition: ‘She Doesn’t Have Control Over Her Muscles’
Canadian singer Celine Dion’s spirit is fighting to return to the stage, but her sister said the disease attacking her nervous system may be more than a match for her will.
“She’s working hard, but she doesn’t have control over her muscles,” Claudette Dion, 74, who is the singer’s older sister, told the French-language publication 7jours, according to a translation in the U.K. Daily Mail.
“What breaks my heart is that she’s always been disciplined. She’s always worked hard,” she said.
Claudette Dion said the progress of the disease is uncertain because it is so rare.
“The vocal cords are muscles, and the heart is also a muscle. This is what comes to get me. Because it’s one out of a million case, the scientists haven’t done that much research because it didn’t affect that many people,” she said.
“If only you knew the number of phone calls the Foundation gets about Celine! People tell us they love her and they’re praying for her. She gets so many messages, presents and blessed crucifixes,” she said.
In August, Claudette Dion said her sister was “working hard” to fight the disease, according to the French-language Le Journal de Montréal as translated by the Los Angeles Times.
“We can’t find medicine, but giving hope, I find that is important,” she said.
“I know that morally, mentally, she is strong. She is not depressed at all … she really has the joy of living. We will get through this,” Claudette Dion told the French-language Showbizz.net in October, according to the Mail.
According to the Brain Facts, ”Stiff-person syndrome (SPS) is a rare neurological disorder with features of an autoimmune disease. 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.”
“People with SPS can be too disabled to walk or move, or they are afraid to leave the house because street noises, such as the sound of a horn, can trigger spasms and falls,” the site wrote, noting, “Most individuals with SPS have frequent falls and because they lack the normal defensive reflexes; injuries can be severe.”
The site said drugs can address the symptoms of the disease, but not cure the disorder.
