It's no secret that Celine Dion has been very candid about her health journey as she battles tough person syndrome.
In her documentary, “I Am: Celine Dion,” she included a very vulnerable scene of her suffering from seizures. “Part of the disease is that as soon as you go into a contraction, sometimes … the cue to release it is not understood, so it just ends up staying in a contracted position,” says a sports medicine physician.

Rigid Person Syndrome is a rare and progressive neurological disorder. During the scene, the doctor lays her on the massage table as she convulses, which Lobo warns “could cause a crisis.”
