Céline has Stiff-Person Syndrome

[Bell]

she may never be able to do things they way she used to

That's it. It's very hard for most people to accept such a change in their lifestyle and get used to it. It takes so much time. My life changed almost a decade ago and sometimes I'm still struggling.

[smw]

Okay this is the way I have processed the situation in the passed months. Yes it's a debilitating illness. Yes it impacts every part of her life. Yes there is no cure. But the severity varies for each person. If she can't withstand a full concert, maybe she can still do single performances or make talk show appearances that are pre-taped, so if she does start to spasm they can stop taping until she can resume. She might be able to still record albums because they can stop and give her a break. The point to this post is that she may never be able to do things they way she used to, but there are other ways she MIGHT be able to do at least some things she used to. And there's always acting or even writing. Only Celine herself knows her body and what she can truly withstand. I'm a Cerebral Palsy sufferer, and trust me, doctors don't know everything. It's not their body. So until Celine herself tells us her career is over, I am not giving up on her remaining in the celebrity industry in some way.

 

Yes, I think a lot of fans are coming to terms with the fact that Celine might not ever be able to regularly perform concerts again. But I do hope she will be well enough to record albums & make appearances. Perhaps even one night only concerts.

 

She’s always been a work horse — doing countless concerts over the years. I know it will be a big adjustment for her.

 

It will be interesting to see if she ever goes back to a Vegas residency. But she’s already changed the game there — and made her impact no matter what happens.

I think it’s safe to say that if Celine ever does perform again it’ll be in Vegas. Logistically it’s the easiest place to perform especially now more than ever. I don’t think we’ll ever see a tour again.

She’ll do Vegas and mini stints in Quebec France. That’ll be it. But Vegas is def happening. It’s her best chance to sustain some cash flow and stay close to home.

Why are you guys so sure about that? Don't get me wrong, I really hope so for a comeback, but let's not forget about that this is a very serious illnes. She can't predict what's gonna happen today. Even tho there are difgerent types of pacients, you can't predict anything.

[Bell]

We've been lucky to get so much from Celine. Even if she never performs again, we should be grateful for what we've already had. Health is a number one priority and if performing is not healthy for her anymore, we should respect this and just be thankful for having her.

I dont know if this has been shared before. In a greek site today they mention Celine's condition now through her sister's Claudette words and other sources.

 

"I know she is trying really hard. We cross our fingers and im glad that people think of her. We are optimist."

Claudette shared a chat she has with Celine. "It can't be possible. God has made a mistake"and Celine answered "Yoy will make me cry"

 

According to what Radar reported in June, the singer's health continues to deteriorate despite the excellent medical support she has. The same source told Radar, “Her illness is terminal. Although she is fighting it with doctors and physical therapists, it is not getting any better. To be precise, as much as it can move".

Fortunately, Radar is not a reliable source. "Terminale" must be a translation error, in the original version it was "incurable" (which is a no-brainer). Claudette no longer hides the fact that, as usual, she really doesn't know much about it; her two comments are quoted in the "Random" thread (sources: https://vedettequebec.com/2023/07/05/claudette-dion-sort-et-donne-des-nouvelles-sur-letat-de-sante-de-celine-dion/ and https://www.journaldequebec.com/2023/07/10/celine-dion-ne-sera-pas-au-quebec-cet-ete-assure-sa-soeur-claudette).

 

"Working hard" surely means that Céline does a lot of physiotherapy; she's not going to recover from it, but if she's lucky, it should improve her fitness, ease the pain and slow the progression of symptoms.

I get worried about these rumours. When she started canceling shows the same rumors started to appear and were confirmed later.

Let's be real, this disease is terrible.

But I keep my prayers for Celine

Yes, it's a terrible disease. I think those who don't want to admit it are no longer following this thread.

 

However I'm convinced that we shouldn't be commenting here on tabloid rumors: not because they necessarily lie, but because they turn someone's suffering into a commodity. There is no supply without demand - let's not simply increase that demand.

 

But she certainly needs all the support, prayers and good wishes of all those who love her.

I was watching this video on Instagram and one comment read

"Remember your last video on children? That's Your karma" to which people are willingly agreeing. This is absurd, there is literally no humanity left.

One even called her a "satanic angel" to which someone said, that they used to love her but that people need to see who she really is.

Who she really is? I think we need to say that, these haters need to see her for who she is, she always stands up for wrong. Always sings when the world seeks peace like during 9/11, Paris attack.

They know nothing about her that’s why they said so. Instagram comments can be really mean.

That is a political thing, it’s not about Celine at all. You can exemplified all the reasons why Celine is a good person, it wouldn’t matter. The far-right ideology is in a war in the name of what they believe is God’s will and when Celine launched a unissex line of clothing for kids they put her on the other side, that’s it!

 

Only way Celine came out of this is if she became a Trump supporter, who hates LGBTQ+ people, says things like “racism doesn’t not exist” or “white supremacy is freedom of speech” and all those BS lines. As this is not happening, I suggest you to just ignore.

German Media also quote Claudette. Was she ever a reliable source? Barney said that she feels better, but that can mean anything..

I've seen comments stating that Celine is a homewrecker, that she ruined René's mariage in the 1980's and that her illness is a karma of this. It's better to ignore such shitty comments from people who are clearly haters.

She’s not a reliable source. Just a couple of weeks before the SPS announcement Claudette was telling everyone Céline was just in menopause and needed to slow down. 😂

I saw yesterday a video on Instagram comparing Mariah and Celine and asking who was better… a lot of answers going both ways, one user said…. “I prefer Mariah, Celine is just too ‘stiff’ for me” with the laughing emoji……

 

It’s sickening to see how people make fun of an illness that literally has Celine in a battle to even walk and get out of bed for all we know. It took a lot for me to NOT get into it with that troll but I think ignoring is better otherwise it fuels the nasty people. I could care less if people prefer Mariah or anyone else, or even think Celine isn’t talented… but to make fun of her illness really shows how f***** up a person is.

Don’t go for me, but could this illness have been triggered by the Covid vaccine? We know that in some cases it can trigger things that would normally not break out. Edited July 12, 2023 at 05:51 PM by ryba

Anything that acts on imune system can be a trigger. COVID itself can be, exhaustion, psychological issues, burnout. So, yet, COVID and vaccines in general also.

Short answer is no. She was clearly having health issues most likely connected to SPS before 2020.

It's impossible to rule out. We saw her excited to start the residency in May, and by October she couldn't participate in rehearsals. She said she had been vaccinated in a May 2021 interview with John Katsilometes.

[mirage]

None of them are reliable sources.

Of course they gonna say 'she's working hard' 'she's a little better'

 

They are not specifically give any news that we need to know.

 

When it's comes from a official statement, or a video with Céline herself. That's when I believe she is doing better.

 

Right now it's just seeing doctors/specialists and see what treatment works is my guess.

Ok well for me I rule it out as something I think is likely. She was ill with SPS before covid. Clearly it got worse over time as they were trying to diagnose her, but that would have happened with or without a vaccine.

I haven't seen any indications that Celine had been dealing with SPS during the Courage tour or before then. If this was the case, then the vaccine theory would obviously be ruled out. We just don't have that information.

I still think all the adrenaline in her body suppressed the decease for a long time, but because she stopped suddenly in February 2020, the syndrome was in a way 'set free'.

 

Could the vaccine trigged it too, maybe, but it didn't cause the syndrome. It's something in your genes, not something you could catch.

I agree, although she very visibly had health issues at the start of 2019 too. Not to mention previous health issues that we knew about. All adds up now.

My non-expert take is that it is not impossible, but would be VERY rare.

 

And having a very small likelihood of an adverse reaction is not a reason to not recommend vaccines that are generally extremely safe and are going to save a lot of lives. That's the mistake that anti-vaxxers make.
