Its easy to have the perseverance when you have the money to see all those doctors, specialists, lab tests, therapists, eat a special diet, try natural therapies, try new therapies, etc. What she has is an auto-Immune disease and doctors need to start being brutally honest and tell people; “There is NO cure!” You can do things that make you feel better and function better - but there is NO cure! Stop wasting your money, admit you are going to die one day, and then move forward and make your end days the best they can be.

True but she also has access to a lot of money which takes that pressure off of her. She’s able to pay for all the help she needs. The everyday person can’t do that.

My PhD was all about gamma motoneurones, the nerve cells that are affected in Stiff Person Syndrome. In an academic job interview in early 2000 I was asked if there were any diseases of gamma motoneurones. I had to say, “Only possibly one…”Stiff Man Syndrome’’’ (as it was known back then), “But many people don’t think it exists”. Well it does and, unfortunately, we’re a long way from understanding it. Thank you for talking about it, Celine. That will encourage further research funding 🙏🏽

Yes, and trying to find information on Stiff Man Syndrome back in the 90’s was difficult, especially on the internet (getting very dodgy information coming up). 🙊🙈 Hopefully with time and more awareness of such diseases research will find a way to help those suffering.

My daughter is now 44 and still stays in touch with Celine's life and cares how she's doing. I think Celine gave my daughter a picture of genuine (gentle) strength and confidence she needed to see, so I thank her for that. It doesn't matter that she doesn't know she did that. She did. I pray the best for her. 🙏
