I just saw Celine Dion’s documentary and at one point I had to stop and pull myself together. It was emotional rollercoaster. This woman is so strong and brave . Real heroine! 💞

Heartbreaking footage from Céline Dion’s new Amazon Prime documentary ‘I Am: Celine Dion’ shows the star suffering from a seizure amid her battle with Stiff Person Syndrome.
The star insisted on keeping the footage in the documentary to show viewers the difficulty of living with the rare autoimmune neurological disorder.
According to John Hopkins Medicine the condition causes:
• Difficulty walking
• A stiff or rigid posture due to ongoing spasms in the back
• Unsteadiness and falling because of sudden spasms, which can lead to injuries
•Shortness of breath if SPS affects muscles in the chest
• Chronic pain
• Exaggerated curve (hyperlordosis) in the lower back that develops over time due to muscle tightness, and changes in the spine alignment can lead to spinal cord compression (myelopathy)
• Anxiety and agoraphobia due to falls caused by spasms
