The singer shared a photo with her three children along with an inspiring message on Instagram to mark Stiff Person Syndrome Awareness Day after being diagnosed with the autoimmune disorder in 2022.

Friday was International Stiff Person Awareness Day, and Celine Dion, who was diagnosed with the autoimmune disorder in 2022, took to social media to share an inspiring message.

Stiff person syndrome is a rare autoimmune disorder that causes muscle stiffness and spasms and sometimes unsteady gait, double vision or slurred speech.


In her post, the Grammy winner shared a photo of her three children, along with a powerful message.

She wrote:

"Today the world recognizes International SPS Awareness Day."
"As many of you know, in the fall of 2022, I was diagnosed with Stiff Person Syndrome (SPS). Trying to overcome this autoimmune disorder has been one of the hardest experiences of my life, but I remain determined to one day get back onto the stage and to live as normal of a life as possible."
"I am deeply grateful for the love and support from my kids, family, team and all of you!"

Dion finished her caption with a message of encouragement.

"I want to send my encouragement and support to all those around the world that have been affected by SPS."
"I want you to know you can do it! We can do it!"

Viewers of the post thanked the singer for using her platform to speak about stiff person syndrome, and sent their own messages of encouragement.

President Donald Trump sparked criticism after claiming during an interview with ABC News’ Terry Moran that an edited photo depicting tattoos of wrongly-deported Maryland father Kilmar Abrego Garcia showed that he has an alleged connection to the MS-13 gang.

Abrego Garcia, a Salvadoran national who arrived in the U.S. in 2012, was labeled a threat in 2019 due to an alleged connection to MS-13. He spent months in detention before an immigration judge found he had a credible fear of persecution—not from MS-13, but from a rival group, Barrio 18, which he said had been extorting his family.

Leavitt Lashes Out At Amazon Over 'Hostile' Plan To Display Added Tariff Costs For Products On Website

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt lashed out at Amazon over news that the commerce giant planned to display increased "import charges" on items on their Amazon Haul website, essentially showing to customers the extra money they'd have to shell out as a result of President Donald Trump's tariffs.

Trump has escalated a growing trade war by imposing tariffs of up to 145% on Chinese imports, prompting China to retaliate with its own 125% tariffs on American goods. Additionally, the U.S. has slapped a 10% tax on imports from most other countries, while temporarily suspending higher rates for several nations for 90 days.
