Journalists were shown the misery Canadian singer Celine Dion goes through during an incident of muscular spasms syndrome, which recently forced her from the stage. Her hands are twisted, and her face muscles twitch, inflicting excruciating pain and leaving her moaning. She is unable to move or talk.
The 56-year-old celebrity recently revealed the circumstances of her illness in the documentary “Courage: Celine Dion,” which is a biographical account of her life. The singer has struggled with excruciating symptoms for 17 years, which has hampered her musical career. Reporters saw instances in which the artist experienced violent convulsions that left her utterly paralyzed. Medical professionals help Celine at these moments by giving her massages and prescribing painkillers.
For seventeen years, Celine Dion concealed the fact that she had an incurable muscular spasm illness. Her condition prevented her from performing, and coughing bouts prevented her from singing. Dion completely stopped making public appearances for a spell, and rumors about her illness became more and more dire. But these days, she’s more forthcoming about her disease, appears in public more often, and just had the documentary “Courage: Celine Dion,” which centers on her life and her battle with neurological syndrome, debut.
The musician has had a lot of nasty surgeries. Acute pain is especially felt during bouts of the syndrome. “I may have died, not to put too fine a point on it. It required risky dosages of medicine for me to be able to move. I needed to practice swallowing.
I need several drugs to maintain regular bodily functions. First one, then two, then five pills. The singer said, “Too many pills, but the show has to go on.” She also said that to calm everyone around her, she attempted for a while to act as though nothing was wrong.
Even though Celine Dion is still battling the illness, she can move and occasionally graces public stages to surprise her admirers. She nevertheless fights every day. This doesn’t stop the singer from planning to go back on stage, though, because she has faith that she will get well. The artist explained why she kept quiet about her sickness for such a long time and when she made the decision to tell the world the truth.
