Dion explained at the time that the illness had forced her to step away from performing.<\/p>\n<div class=\"XEIlz9Po\"><\/div>\n<p>Stiff person syndrome\u00a0(SPS) is characterized by progressive muscle stiffness and severe, sometimes unpredictable spasms, according to Johns Hopkins. The condition can significantly impact mobility, posture, and daily functioning. In some cases, external stimuli such as sudden noise, touch, or emotional stress can trigger painful muscle contractions.<\/p>\n<div class=\"d4kUmeDP\"><\/div>\n<p>Medical experts describe SPS as an autoimmune disorder in which the body mistakenly attacks healthy nerve cells responsible for controlling muscle movement. Though the exact cause remains unknown, researchers believe abnormalities in the immune system play a major role.<\/p>\n<div class=\"rna-container rh-ineligible\" data-embed-url=\"\" data-rhp=\"1\"><iframe id=\"instagram-embed-0\" class=\"instagram-media instagram-media-rendered\" src=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reel\/DHOaJTmRxHN\/embed\/captioned\/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=373&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fcountrymusicnation.com&amp;rp=%2Fceline-dion-expected-to-return-to-stage-four-years-after-stiff-person-syndrome-diagnosis#%7B%22ci%22%3A0%2C%22os%22%3A3071.5999999940395%2C%22ls%22%3A2785.5999999940395%2C%22le%22%3A3053.5999999940395%7D\" height=\"1151\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-instgrm-payload-id=\"instagram-media-payload-0\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-origwidth=\"\" data-origheight=\"1151\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<h2 id=\"h-the-music-legend-shares-what-life-has-been-like-with-sps\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Music Legend Shares What Life Has Been Like With SPS<\/h2>\n<p>Since sharing her diagnosis, Dion has used her platform to highlight the realities of living with the rare autoimmune disease.
