Flushed, tearful, wailing in pain and unable to control her own body, Céline Dion endures an agonising ten-minute seizure in new scenes from her new documentary that lays bare her battle with Stiff Person Syndrome (SPS). The Canadian singer is seen gasping for breath as medical professionals desperately attempt to alleviate her painful muscle spasms while a camera crew quietly films the ordeal.
In clear distress, a frantic Dion is given a medicinal nasal spray, commonly used to treat the effects of cluster seizures in sufferers of SPS. Dion, 56, was diagnosed with the condition, a rare autoimmune neurological disorder that causes muscle stiffness and uncontrollable spasms, in 2022.
Her subsequent struggles are set to be documented in new Amazon Prime release I Am: Céline Dion – a heartbreaking look at the superstar’s daily life as she comes to terms with SPS and its debilitating effects. And a new clip, shared ahead of its release on June 25, captures Dion as her stricken body goes into ‘crisis’ during a filmed consultation with medical professionals.
The singer looks on helplessly as doctors gently lay her in a comfortable position and check her vitals.All the while, her bare-feet remain rigid as she battles the debilitating effects of the rare condition.
