A little bit of knowledge would suffice here; SPS is a rare neurological disorder with symptoms, including stiffness and functional impairment.

As it stands, the prognosis for SPS varies considerably. Some individuals may experience a little inconvenience, while others could have their daily lives greatly affected; sounding more like a twisted game of ‘Neurological Disorder Roulette’. However, the good news here is that despite the variability, the majority of people with SPS have a good life expectancy.
But, we aren’t here to give you anxiety. After all, Celine has already assured us that she’s ready to embrace life as it comes, “Come wind, come weather.” This attitude is a timely reminder that we too ought to adopt the same outlook, especially in these uncertain times where life changes faster than Celine can hit her high notes!
