Singer Céline Dion was recently diagnosed with a rare disorder that causes severe muscle spasms.
Singer Céline Dion was recently diagnosed with a rare neurological disorder called stiff-person syndrome, which has caused her to experience severe muscle spasms, the iconic performer announced Dec. 8 in an Instagram video .
"For me to reach you again, I have no choice but to concentrate on my health at this moment, and I have hope that I'm on the road to recovery," Dion said. The syndrome is likely caused by the immune system inadvertently attacking nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord. These nerve cells would normally help control muscle contractions, so as the nerve cells are progressively destroyed, patients experience spontaneous stiffness in the torso and limbs, as well as sporadic and violent muscle spasms.
