According to previous reports, Celine Dion, a female singer who became popular all over the world by singing the theme song "My Heart is Eternal" for the movie "Titanic", announced that she was suffering from the rare disease "Zombie Syndrome" at the end of 22.
In May '23, Dion said that his physical condition was still not improving, and he had to cancel the world tour scheduled for 2023-2024.
Celine Dion, who has not been seen for a long time on May 24 this year, released a rare video revealing her physical condition: "I was diagnosed with a very rare neurological disorder, I wasn't ready to say anything before, but I'm ready now." ”
Celine Dion mentioned in the video that she insisted on five days a week in her hard rehabilitation in order to reconnect with the public to fight the disease, "I work very hard every day, but I have to admit that it is a struggle, I miss all my friends so much, I miss them (fans) too much." ”
She wept and said, "If I can't run, I'll go to you, if I can't even walk, I'll have to climb." I'm not going to give up. ”
It is reported that "stiff person syndrome" is a very rare neurological disease. In the past, Celine Dion has been treated, but this disease is difficult to treat, there is no specific medicine, and treatment can only improve the symptoms.
Not only that, but the incidence of the disease is 1 in a million, and women are 2 to 3 times more likely than men. After the illness, she often had spasms that seriously affected her life. Not only did she have difficulty walking, but her vocal cords were unable to make sounds in the way she was used to.
