Celine Dion is sharing her personal experience with stiff person’s disease.
In a recent interview with Vogue France, Celine Dion provided an update on her health, expressing that she is currently in a good state but acknowledges the amount of effort it requires. She mentioned, “I’m taking it one day at a time.” Last year in May, Dion was diagnosed with Moersch-Woltman syndrome, also known as stiff-person syndrome. This diagnosis led the 55-year-old Grammy winner to prioritize her well-being, resulting in the cancellation of her upcoming tour dates and a temporary pause in live performances. The disorder affected both her mobility and singing abilities.
Dion revealed that she dedicates five days a week to engaging in various forms of therapy, including athletic, physical, and vocal exercises, following her diagnosis.
She expressed, “I focus on improving my agility, strength, and vocal abilities. I dedicate time to perfecting my movements, vocal techniques, and overall performance. Initially, I would often question why this happened to me and if it was my own doing. However, I have learned to accept it and move forward without dwelling on the past.”
But Dion’s perspective has changed since then. She now sees that she has two choices: either she trains like an athlete and puts in the hard work, or she gives up and stays at home, singing to herself in front of the mirror. However, she has made the decision to work with a medical team and give it her all, both physically and mentally. Her ultimate goal is to be the best version of herself and to see the Eiffel Tower once again.
