ALBAWABA - Celine Dion, 55, continues to battle an incurable disease.
Celine Dion's sister, Claudette Dion shared an update on the singer's health after she was diagnosed with stiff-person syndrome in December.
Stiff-person syndrome is a rare progressive neurological disorder that causes stiffness and spasms in the lower back, legs, and sometimes abdomen muscles.
Claudette revealed in a new interview that their sister, Linda is currently living with the singer to help her during this difficult time.
Claudette shared: "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."
She went on: "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," it has also been revealed that the My Heart Will Go On singer is "listening to the top researchers in the field of this rare disease as much as possible."
Stiff-person syndrome, also known as SPS disease, is very rare and does not have a cure yet, however, there are treatments and medications that help manage symptoms and slow down the progression of the disease.
SPS is described by the Cleveland Clinic as "an uncommon autoimmune movement illness that affects the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) and causes stiffness in the trunk muscles at first, followed by the legs and other body muscles over time."
After Celine's diagnosis, she decided to move back to Canada, to surround herself with family and loved ones, as she has 11 brothers and sisters living in there.
Back in June, a source claimed that Celine Dion's health is not getting better, "Her disease is incurable. And as hard she’s worked at it with doctors and therapists, she simply isn’t getting better. To be honest, she can barely move."
