Celine Dionwas filmed enduring an excruciating 10-minute-longseizureprovoked byStiff Person Syndrome(SPS).
Eventually, a healthcare professional was seen administering a nasal spray to the songstress.
I always find plan b and plan c, you know.
If I cant run, Ill walk.
If I cant walk, Ill crawl.
But I wont stop.
when Celine went very quickly into the attack.
Irene added: So in that first 30 seconds, I was not focused on filming.
I was the sound person, and my cinematographer was there.
So she was in the best hands she could be in.
But I did decide to keep filming, knowing that we didnt have to use it.
Believe it or not, she left that location in very high spirits.
And she was actually taking care of me.
And she said, Dont worry about what happened.
I dont know what it looked like.
And I thought, Yeah, but she doesnt know what it looks like.
Like… she was only semi-conscious.
So ultimately, I did edit it into the film.
And what you see in this final film is exactly what I showed her the first time.
She didnt want me to change it at all.
When asked why Celine grabbed her hand, Irene reportedly replied that she thought she was hiding her emotions.
And I was like this is what it must be like to see Celine in concert.
She said: The vocal cords are muscles, and the heart is also a muscle.
This is what comes to get me.
Symptoms include muscle spasms, hyper-rigidity, debilitating pain, and chronic anxiety.
Muscle spasms can be so violent they can dislocate joints and even break bones.
Moreover, the stiffness may affect limbs to a different extent.
For some people, walking may become difficult and they become more prone to falls and injury.
Some patients report spasms of the face or a change in their appetite.
SPS is an extremely rare disorder, theNational Organization for Rare Disordersclaims.
