Celine Dion has just shared some devastating news about her health in an Instagram post. In a video, she revealed that she has stiff-person syndrome, a rare neurological disorder that affects "something like one in a million people," and has been causing her debilitating muscle spasms, she noted. To add to the everyday hardships, the condition also affects her ability to sing and perform. She was visibly emotional in the video, revealing, "I've been dealing with problems with my health for a long time, and it's been really difficult for me to face these challenges and to talk about everything that I've been going through."
