Celine Dion’s health struggles have been a cause of concern for her family and fans alike. The singer, who was diagnosed with Stiff Person Syndrome in December 2022, has been experiencing difficulties finding a medicine that effectively manages her condition. According to her sister, Claudette Dion, they have tried numerous treatments, but none seem to work. Despite this setback, the family remains hopeful and believes that a solution will eventually be found. In an interview with Le Journal de Montréal, she said, “We can’t find any medicine that works, but having hope is important.”
“I honestly think that she mostly needs to rest. She always goes above and beyond [when performing], she always tries to be the best and top of her game,” Claudette continued. “At one point, your heart and your body are trying to tell you something. It’s important to listen to it.” She further revealed that Linda, their other sister, is living with Celine and to help her as she battles her medical condition.
