Recently Celine Dion showed a documentary of her struggles with stiff-person syndrome, a rare, chronic neurological disorder.

Stiff person syndrome (SPS) is a rare autoimmune neurological disorder that causes progressive muscle stiffness and painful spasms.

Medical organizations and patient advocacy groups  have been working to raise awareness of SPS in recent years.

SPS can be a debilitating condition that significantly impacts a person's quality of life.  Sharing stories about the challenges of SPS can raise empathy and understanding.

A few well-known figures have been diagnosed with SPS, which can bring more attention to the condition.

 However, it's important to remember that SPS is a rare disorder and celebrity cases don't represent the typical experience.

While SPS isn't a widely known conditions, singer Celine Dion recent diagnosis in late 2021 is a prime example of a public figure bringing awareness to the disorder.

Medical institutions and patient advocacy groups are working on raising awareness for this condition.
