Celine Dion’s Heartbreaking Health Update Revealed, As Sister Moves In With Her

The 55-year-old singer has been lying low at her $1.2 million Las Vegas mansion with her three sons René-Charles, Eddy, and Nelson amid her debilitating struggle with the rare neurological disorder. Celine’s sister has now revealed that the All By Myself hit-maker is struggling to find any medications that work for her but is persevering with her recovery with the help of their sister Linda, who has moved in to help care for her.

Claudette told Le Journal de Montreal: “When I call her and she’s busy, I speak to my sister Linda who lives with her and tells me that she’s working hard. She’s listening to the top researchers in the field of this rare disease as much as possible.

“I honestly think that she mostly needs to rest. She always goes above and beyond, she always tries to be the best and top of her game. At one point, your heart and your body are trying to tell you something. It’s important to listen to it.”

Claudette went on to say that Celine is working incredibly hard to maintain her physical health and to get back to performing in the future.

Discussing her rehabilitation, she said: “We trust her. It’s innate to her, she’s disciplined in every area of her life… We can’t find any medicine that works, but having hope is important.

Celine is the youngest of 14 brothers and sisters: Linda, Denise, Clément, Claudette, Liette, Michel, Louise, Jacques, Daniel, Ghislaine, Linda, Manon, and twins Paul and Pauline.

Symptoms of stiff person syndrome include muscle rigidity in the trunk and arms, often triggered by noise, touch, and emotional distress. Celine’s condition is characterized by muscle spasms, and frequent falls can also be an issue due to a lack of coordination.

Those with stiff person syndrome are often unable to walk or move, and it’s twice as common in women than in men.
