A federal judge on Tuesday (Sep 3) ordered former US president and current Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump to cease using music created by the late Isaac Hayes at his campaign events.

A federal judge on Tuesday (Sep 3) ordered former US president and current Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump to cease using music created by the late Isaac Hayes at his campaign events. The judge ordered the Trump campaign to stop using Hayes' song "Hold On, I'm Coming". However, they have not been ordered to take down existing videos featuring the music. The ruling came after objections from Isaac Hayes III, son of the renowned musician, who strongly opposed Trump's use of his father's work. Speaking outside the Richard B. Russell Federal Courthouse, Isaac Hayes III asserted, "We have to take a stand that we want to separate ourselves from someone with Donald Trump's character." Also read | 'Blood on their hands': Donald Trump blames 'crooked' Biden, 'comrade' Harris for Gaza hostage killings The late musician's son emphasised that the decision was motivated by concerns over Trump's character and not political differences. "This is not a political issue, this is a character issue," he said. "I want this to serve as an opportunity for other artists to come forward that don't want their music used by Donald Trump or other political entities and continue to fight for music artists' rights and copyright," he added. Legal discussions and uncertainties New York attorney Ronald Coleman, who represented Trump and his campaign in the case, implied uncertainty over the Hayes family's ownership of the music rights. "Before we left court, we spoke to the Hayes attorneys and to Mr. Hayes III about trying to work something out. We want this to be as a cooperative process as possible going forward," Coleman said.

'Character issue': Federal judge orders Trump to stop using Isaac Hayes' music for campaigning

<p>Celine Dion took a jab at Donald Trump on Saturday for using at an election rally the song she wrote and sang for the disaster movie "Titanic," about the ocean liner's sinking.</p>

<p>The Republican presidential candidate has been lampooned on social media after playing the 1997 track "My Heart Will Go On" at a rally in the US state of Montana on Friday, as a video of Dion performing the song was shown on a big screen.</p>

<p>Dion's management team and her record label, Sony Music Entertainment Canada, said in a statement on X the use of the song and video was "in no way" authorized.</p>

<p>"Celine Dion does not endorse this or any similar use... And really, THAT song?" it added.</p>

<p>Users on social media have made analogies between Trump's campaign and the sinking ship at the heart of the James Cameron film.</p>

<p>Trump has appeared on the back foot since Kamala Harris replaced President Joe Biden in the US election race for the White House.</p>

<p>The former president appeared on track to win back the White House before Biden dropped out of the race on July 21, but Harris has made big gains since replacing Biden at the top of the ticket and announcing Tim Walz, Minnesota's governor, as her running mate.</p>

<p>"My Heart Will Go On" was released on Dion's album "Let's Talk About Love" and the soundtrack to Cameron's film "Titanic." It became one of the biggest songs of all time, selling 18 million copies and earning Dion an Oscar, a Golden Globe and several Grammys.</p>

<p>Dion, 56, was forced to cancel a string of shows in 2023 and 2024, saying she was not strong enough to tour after being diagnosed with an autoimmune disorder.</p>

Celine Dion jabs Trump for playing 'Titanic' song at rally

<p>A show-stopping performance by Celine Dion, a flaming Olympic cauldron lifted into the night sky by hot-air balloon, and a dazzling Eiffel Tower light show brought the curtain down on a four-hour celebration of French culture, history and art.</p>

Shining Return! Celine Dion gives a powerful performance at Paris Olympics

<p>World-famous stars are in line to perform at Friday's opening ceremony of the Paris Olympics, which will take place along the Seine river. The exact line-up is a tightly guarded secret, but here are three performers strongly rumoured to be appearing:</p>

<p><strong>- Lady Gaga -</strong></p>

<p>One of the world's biggest-selling artists, pop queen Lady Gaga -- real name Stefani Germanotta -- brings extravagant showmanship and costumes to the stage, along with her infectious electropop beats. She won an Oscar for "Shallow", a song she co-wrote for the 2018 film remake <em>A Star is Born</em>.</p>

<p>In that film, she sang the classic "La Vie en rose" by French legend Edith Piaf -- whose songs are expected to feature in the Olympics extravaganza. Lady Gaga was seen arriving at a hotel in the French capital days ahead of the opening bash. Her anticipated Olympic turn comes during a busy year for the Oscar-winning US songwriter, 38.</p>

<p>Earlier this month she announced she was back in the studio at work on a new album. She also appears as love-interest Harley Quinn in the new <em>Joker</em>&nbsp;movie, screening at the Venice Film Festival that starts in late August.</p>

<p>"Music is one of the most powerful things the world has to offer," she said prior to her electrifying 2017 Super Bowl halftime show performance. "No matter what race or religion or nationality or sexual orientation or gender that you are, it has the power to unite us."</p>

<p><strong>- Celine Dion -</strong></p>

<p>Canadian superstar singer Dion is set to return to the spotlight after her fight against a rare illness was laid bare in a recent documentary. She has been posing for selfies with fans around Paris since the start of the week.</p>

<p>Sources have indicated she may sing Piaf's stirring love anthem "Hymne A l'Amour" at the ceremony. If she performs it will be the 56-year-old Dion's second time at the Games, after the 1996 Atlanta Olympics.</p>

<p>Last month she vowed she would fight her way back from the debilitating rare neurological condition that has kept her off stage. Dion first disclosed in December 2022 that she had been diagnosed with Stiff Person Syndrome, an incurable autoimmune disorder. But she told US network NBC in June: "I'm going to go back onstage, even if I have to crawl. Even if I have to talk with my hands, I will. I will."</p>

<p>She has sold more than 250 million albums during a career spanning decades, and picked up two Grammys for her rendition of "My Heart Will Go On", the hit song from the 1997 epic <em>Titanic</em>.</p>

<p><strong>- Aya Nakamura -</strong></p>

<p>Franco-Malian R&amp;B superstar Aya Nakamura, 29, is the most listened-to French-speaking singer in the world, with seven billion streams online. She is known for hits such as "Djadja", which has close to a billion streams on YouTube alone, and "Pookie".</p>

<p>She faced down a wave of abuse from right-wing activists over her mooted Olympics appearance. The backlash came after media reports suggested she had discussed performing a song by Piaf at a meeting with President Emmanuel Macron.</p>

<p>Neither party confirmed the claim but Macron publicly backed the singer for the Olympics ceremony. Far-right politicians and conservatives have accused her of "vulgarity" and disrespecting the French language in her lyrics.</p>

<p>Born Aya Danioko in the Malian capital Bamako in 1995 into a family of traditional musicians, she moved with her parents to the Paris suburbs as a child. She told AFP in an interview in 2020 that her music was about "feelings of love in all their aspects".</p>

<p>"I have made my own musical universe and that is what I am most proud of. I make the music I like, even if people try to pigeonhole me."</p>

Celine Dion and Lady Gaga to perform a duet at Paris Olympics opening ceremony: Reports

<p>We will be cheering her the hardest if this news is true! Reports suggest that Celine Dion, who hasn’t performed in a while, is in Paris for the Olympics and that she&nbsp;will not just be there to attend the massive sporting event but also&nbsp;perform at the opening ceremony. It was earlier reported that Lady Gaga might&nbsp;perform since she was in Paris too.&nbsp;</p>

<p>This will mark Celine’s first performance since her shocking Stiff Person Syndrome diagnosis. Due to the ailment, Celine cancelled all her then-tour dates and has since taken a backseat from music to focus&nbsp;on her health and get better. She has also only made a few public appearances since then.&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>Celine Dion and Lady Gaga in Paris</strong></h2>

<p>Various reports suggest that Celine&nbsp;will open the Paris Olympics with a fire performance. The Canadian singer is in Paris currently. Celine was recently spotted making her way to the Royal Monceau hotel near the Champs-Élysées.</p>

Celine Dion to make comeback with performance at the Paris Olympics?

Did you know Celine Dion initially refused to record the iconic Titanic song 'My Heart Will Go On'? Know how she got convinced and more such unusual facts about 'I'm Alive' singer.

Celine Dion: Rare facts about 'my heart will go on' singer | WION E-Club

<p>Celine Dion vowed Monday her "passion as a performer will never disappear," despite health struggles she says are still just a small part of her monumental story. "I'm not dead," the singer told AFP on the red carpet, ahead of the premiere of both wrenching and joyful documentary <em>I Am: Celine Dion</em>.</p>

<p>The movie focuses on her soaring career and more recent challenges with a rare neurological disorder that has drastically hampered her ability to perform.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"When life imposes something on you, you have two options. You deal with it or you don't want to deal with it," Dion said.</p>

<p>She called her decision to speak out about her condition in the documentary both "the greatest gift and the greatest responsibility," saying she hoped it would inspire people with similar obstacles.</p>

<p>At one point ahead of the premiere the Quebec-born star switched to her native French, telling journalists that "it's hard to be here. But at the same time, I'm so moved."&nbsp;</p>

<p>"I feel that I still have a lot of support and a lot of love and I hope this documentary will help, because it helped me a lot," she said, detailing her gratitude to her family, her medical team and her fans.&nbsp;"Even if it's a forever fight, one day at a time."</p>

<p><strong>- 'Authentic' -</strong></p>

<p>The 56-year old first disclosed in December 2022 that she had been diagnosed with Stiff Person Syndrome, a progressive autoimmune disorder with no cure.&nbsp;She was forced to cancel the remainder of her shows indefinitely.</p>

<p>Treatment can help alleviate symptoms of the condition that can cause stiff muscles in the torso, arms and legs.</p>

<p>Overstimulation can also trigger severe spasms, and can cause her voice to crack uncontrollably. "The show will still go on," she promised, but said it was important to be honest about the physical and emotional intensity of her condition.</p>

<p>Irene Taylor, the Academy Award-nominated director behind the film, told AFP that Dion's one ask was to be able to tell her own story, in her own words.</p>

<p>"Would that be possible? Instead of other people talking about me?" she recalled the superstar requesting.</p>

<p>"That was like music to my ears as a storyteller," Taylor said.&nbsp;"She just opened up and was very authentic," the director continued. "In her joy, and also in her suffering."&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>- 'Love letter' -</strong></p>

<p>The intimate film features archival footage of the charismatic performer the world knows and loves, as well as tender scenes at home with her children and dogs that lend a quirky, cozy portrayal of Celine as a parent.</p>

<p>But the film also documents the severity of Dion's pain, including one lengthy sequence that shows with excruciating detail the singer suffering from a seizure, which renders her not only immobile but unable to speak.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The devastating episode left some in the screening audience audibly crying. But the throughline of the documentary is less Dion's illness as it is her love for her family, friends and music. She is visibly tormented by the loss of the voice she once knew, but it's her joy in life and an unshakeable sense of humour that shine through in the film.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The documentary about Dion -– who has sold more than 250 million albums throughout her decades-long career –- will begin streaming globally on June 25 on Prime Video.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Earlier this year Dion made a surprise appearance at the Grammy Awards, presenting the Album of the Year award to Taylor Swift.&nbsp;But she has rarely appeared publicly since announcing she had SPS.</p>

<p>Speaking to the packed, enthusiastic hall in Manhattan ahead of the screening, Dion compared herself to an apple tree. She also makes the metaphor in the film, saying that she's always felt she must produce shiny fruit for fans who were willing to pay large sums and wait in long lines for her performances.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Dion was moved to tears as she described a comment from a recent fan, who told her in a message that "we're not here for the apples -– we're here for the tree."&nbsp;</p>

<p>"This movie is my love letter to each of you," she said to a standing ovation.&nbsp;"And I hope to see you all again very soon."</p>

The documentary about Dion -– who has sold more than 250 million albums throughout her decades-long career –- will begin streaming globally on June 25 on Prime Video. Earlier this year Dion made a surprise appearance at the Grammy Awards, presenting the Album of the Year award to Taylor Swift. But she has rarely appeared publicly since announcing she had SPS. Speaking to the packed, enthusiastic hall in Manhattan ahead of the screening, Dion compared herself to an apple tree. She also makes the metaphor in the film, saying that she's always felt she must produce shiny fruit for fans who were willing to pay large sums and wait in long lines for her performances. Dion was moved to tears as she described a comment from a recent fan, who told her in a message that "we're not here for the apples -– we're here for the tree." "This movie is my love letter to each of you," she said to a standing ovation. "And I hope to see you all again very soon."

Celine Dion offers a portrait of resilience in vulnerable documentary

<p>It’s tough for Celine Dion but she’s not someone who would give up easily even though she lives with Stiff Person Syndrome. Opening up on her life with the ailment, the pop star revealed that she hopes for a miracle but that she is “learning to live with it”.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In a new interview, she discussed the neurological disorder which causes progressive muscular stiffness. Celine Dion was diagnosed with the same in December 2022, because of which she had to reschedule tours and had to stay at home and heal.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Meanwhile, in the interview, Celine said, “I haven’t beat the disease, as it’s still within me and always will be. I hope that we’ll find a miracle, a way to cure it with scientific research, but for now I have to learn to live with it. So that’s me, now with Stiff Person Syndrome.”</p>

<p>She added, “Five days a week I undergo athletic, physical and vocal therapy. I work on my toes, my knees, my calves, my fingers, my singing, my voice… I have to learn to live with it now and stop questioning myself. At the beginning I would ask myself: why me? How did this happen? What have I done? Is this my fault?”</p>

<p>On how she lives her life now, Celine Dion said that she felt she had two choices: “Either I train like an athlete and work super hard, or I switch off and it’s over, I stay at home, listen to my songs, stand in front of my mirror and sing to myself. I’ve chosen to work with all my body and soul, from head to toe, with a medical team. I want to be the best I can be. My goal is to see the Eiffel Tower again!”</p>

When Celine Dion sang backstage at Grammys amid stiff person syndrome

<p>Iconic singer Celine Dion sent social media into a tizzy as she made a surprise appearance at the Grammys 2024. Dion, who has been out of the circuit and battling a neurological disorder called stiff person syndrome, came on stage to give away the Album Of The Year award and was greeted by the audience with a standing ovation.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
The show organisers&nbsp;had been teasing that an “absolute global icon” would be presenting the final award for Album of the Year and they didn’t disappoint.<br />
<br />
If Dion's appearance was iconic enough, the award she presented to Taylor Swift for<em> Midnights</em> can be termed historic. Swift became the only artist in Grammy history to have won the award four times.<strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/hollywood/news-taylor-swift-makes-history-wins-album-of-the-year-at-grammy-2024-687052">Grammy 2024: Taylor Swift makes history!

Celine Dion to document her life with stiff person syndrome in new documentary

<p>Canadian singer Céline Dion is grappling with the challenges of stiff person syndrome, an autoimmune disease that affects her muscles, making it difficult for her to maintain control.

<p><strong>What is Stiff-person Syndrome?</strong><br />
<br />
Stiff-person Syndrome, also known as SPS and Moersch-Woltman syndrome, is a rare autoimmune movement disorder, which usually occurs in about one in every one million people, and it affects their central nervous system.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
People with this condition first experience a stiffening of the muscles of their trunk followed, over time, by the development of stiffness and rigidity in the legs and other muscles in the body.<br />
<br />
The condition causes chronic pain and spasms, usually triggered by noise, emotional distress and light physical touch. Over time, the condition leads to an altered posture, and in severe cases, it can even limit your ability to walk or move.</p>

<p><strong>Tickets to be refunded</strong></p>

<p>As she announced the cancellation of her tour, Dion assured fans that they can get refunded for their tickets.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
"Tickets purchased for the 42 cancelled dates will be refunded via the original point of sale. For further ticket inquiries or options, ticketholders should reach out to their original point of purchase."<br />
<br />
In January 2022, Dion announced she was canceling the rest of the North American tour dates on her "Courage" tour due to "severe and persistent muscle spasms" that left her unable to perform.<br />

"It’s not fair to you to keep postponing the shows, and even though it breaks my heart, it’s best that we cancel everything now until I’m really ready to be back on stage again. I want you all to know, I’m not giving up … and I can’t wait to see you again!"

Love Again trailer: Priyanka Chopra, Sam Heughan's new film gives love a second chance

<p>Fans disapprove of the Rolling Stones’ recently released 200 Greatest Singers of All Time list. It honours the best vocalists in pop music. Among the singers mentioned on the list, Celine Dion did not make it to the cut and that didn’t sit down too well with her fans. Not only Celine Dion, the list also doesn’t include Pink, Justin Bieber, Jennifer Hudson, Janet Jackson, Tony Bennett, Madonna, Nat King Cole, Dionne Warwick and more.</p>

<p>The publication had released the list in 2008. They updated the list to welcome the new year.&nbsp;</p>

<p>On the list, Rolling Stones writes, "This new list was compiled our staff and key contributors, and it encompasses 100 years of pop music as an ongoing global conversation.” The criteria was based on "originality, influence, the depth of an artist’s catalog, and the breadth of their musical legacy."</p>

<p>Another wrote, "I’m sorry, but Jennifer Hudson is a better singer than 95% of the people on that #RollingStone list. Her impact is immense. The EGOT winner’s contributions to film, theatre, music and television are undeniable."</p>

<p>Another disappointed fan wrote, "Rolling Stone Magazine proved to be not credible. 1. Placing Christina Aguilera this low. 2.

Fans upset with Celine Dion getting snubbed in Rolling Stones 200 greatest singers list

<p>Rolling Stone magazine recently released its list of 200 best singers of all time.

Billie Holiday, Mariah Carey, Stevie Wonder, and Beyoncé were also in the top 10 list. As it always happens with such lists, a lot of people have been left outraged. Particularly fans of singers like <strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/celine-dion-releases-first-video-since-revealing-her-rare-neurological-disorder-546835">Celine Dion</a></strong>, Jennifer Hudson, Justin Bieber, and others who were not included are expressing their anger online. Even the fans of singers like Michael Jackson, who was included but is in the 86th position, are not happy.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Rolling Stone's article did say before the list that this is the "Greatest Singers list, not the Greatest Voices List. Talent is impressive; genius is transcendent." However, it is unlikely anybody read it and/or paid heed to it. A fan of Dion tweeted, "Um, @RollingStone, you done lost your musical mind. Make haste with a correction--adding Celine to this list--if you want to retain any semblance of legitimacy."</p>

His vocal type is Lyric Tenor (4 octaves, 1.5 notes), and his versatility and vocal control? 🤯! pic.twitter.com/bRNnaa49rk — Dr. Andrew Greene | 🌊 (@AndrewGreene864) January 1, 2023 × Rolling Stone's article did say before the list that this is the "Greatest Singers list, not the Greatest Voices List. Talent is impressive; genius is transcendent." However, it is unlikely anybody read it and/or paid heed to it. A fan of Dion tweeted, "Um, @RollingStone, you done lost your musical mind. Make haste with a correction--adding Celine to this list--if you want to retain any semblance of legitimacy." Um, @RollingStone, you done lost your musical mind. Make haste with a correction--adding Celine to this list--if you want to retain any semblance of legitimacy. — Shalin Gala (@ShalinGala) January 2, 2023 × One Jackson fan said, "I find it hard to believe there are 85 singers greater than MJ. - His vocal range is near four octaves. - His signature vocal tics are iconic, even in non-English countries. - One of his biggest gifts was turning his emotions into music that made everyone connect with him." This is how you know Rolling Stone has no merit. On their '200 Greatest Singers of All Time' list, they put Kurt Cobain above #MichaelJackson. Even as a die-hard #Nirvana fan, there is no way Cobain is better than Michael. Plus, Celine Dion didn't even make the list?!? pic.twitter.com/yTUWmOPQx7 — Raul Hernandez (@theartofraul) January 2, 2023 × One person, a fan of both Jackson and Dion, tweeted, "This is how you know Rolling Stone has no merit. On their '200 Greatest Singers of All Time' list, they put Kurt Cobain above #MichaelJackson. Even as a die-hard #Nirvana fan, there is no way Cobain is better than Michael. Plus, Celine Dion didn't even make the list?!?" Taylor Swift, a winner of 11 Grammys, was in the 102 position. "my favorite didn’t crack the top 100????? top two and she ain’t number two," a fan of the singer tweeted. Meanwhile, K-pop star Jungkook was ranked 191. But that only made his fans happy, who took the ranking to claim him as the best South Korean singer of all time.

Rolling Stone's '200 best singers' list angers Michael Jackson, Celine Dion, Justin Bieber fans. Here's why

<p>Weeks after she revealed her battle with the neurological disorder Stiff Person Syndrome, singer Celine Dion released a new video message for the occasion of Christmas.&nbsp;<br />
<br />

<p>Two weeks earlier, Dion had spoken about her illness and announced the postponement of her European tour dates.&nbsp;<br />

Celine Dion releases first video since revealing her rare neurological disorder

<p>Canadian singer Celine Dion has revealed that she is suffering from an incurable, rare neurological disorder called Stiff-person syndrome (SPS), which makes muscles&nbsp;rigid. The disorder leaves the suffering person as a "human statue", as they are unable to move or walk. The disease is incurable, but its effects can be lessened. Dion shared on Instagram that she had to cancel all her upcoming shows due to the condition. Science does not know yet what causes SPS, but it has features of an autoimmune disease.</p>

Canadian singer Celine Dion has revealed that she is suffering from an incurable, rare neurological disorder called Stiff-person syndrome (SPS), which makes muscles rigid.

Canadian singer Celine Dion has revealed that she is suffering from an incurable, rare neurological disorder called Stiff-person syndrome (SPS), which makes muscles rigid. The disorder leaves the suffering person as a "human statue", as they are unable to move or walk. The disease is incurable, but its effects can be lessened. Dion shared on Instagram that she had to cancel all her upcoming shows due to the condition. Science does not know yet what causes SPS, but it has features of an autoimmune disease.

Celine Dion diagnosed with incurable neurological disease, cancels all upcoming shows

<p>Celine Dion dropped a shocker on Thursday morning and left her fans stressed and emotional. The iconic singer, who crooned hit tracks like 'My Heart Will Go On', 'The Power Of Love' and 'I'm Alive', revealed in an emotional video that she's been diagnosed with Stiff-person Syndrome, due to which she has cancelled and rescheduled some of her upcoming concert dates.</p>

<p>"I’ve been dealing with problems with my health for a long time, and it’s been really difficult for me to face these challenges and to talk about everything that I’ve been going through…It hurts me to tell you that I won’t be ready to restart my tour in Europe in February," the teary-eyed singer shared.</p>

<p>Like many of her fans, you might also not be aware of the rare and&nbsp;incurable neurological disease Celine spoke about. Here's a quick health guide to help you understand the condition better!</p>

<h2>What exactly is Stiff-person Syndrome?</h2>

<p>Stiff-person Syndrome, also known as SPS and Moersch-Woltman syndrome, is a rare autoimmune movement disorder, which usually occurs in about one in every one million people, and it affects their central nervous system. It is mainly diagnosed among middle-aged people like the 54-year-old singer.</p>

<p>The condition causes chronic pain and spasms, usually triggered by noise, emotional distress and light physical touch. The person dealing with this disorder also experiences stiffening of the muscles near the trunk and abdomen area, followed by the development of rigidity and stiffness around the legs and other muscles of the body.</p>

<p>Over time, the condition leads to an altered posture, and in severe cases, it can even limit your ability to walk or move. People suffering from this rare disorder need ongoing treatment to manage symptoms and maintain quality of life.</p>

<p>Stiff person syndrome is thought to be part of a wide range of similar diseases that involve one area of the body and then spread throughout the body.</p>

<h2>Who is usually prone to Stiff-person Syndrome?</h2>

<p>Stiff-person syndrome is, fortunately, an extremely rare condition and only about one out of every one million people have been diagnosed with this syndrome. And, it's twice as common in women than in men. Symptoms of the condition usually start developing around the age of 30 to 60. It is more likely seen in people with certain types of autoimmune disorders, such as diabetes, thyroiditis, vitiligo and pernicious anemia. People dealing with certain&nbsp;cancers, such as&nbsp;breast, lung, kidney, thyroid, colon and Hodgkin’s lymphoma, are also prone to the disease.</p>

<h2>What causes the rare autoimmune movement disorder?</h2>

<p>Researchers are unclear of the exact cause of this syndrome, however, it is believed that the syndrome is an autoimmune disorder, a condition where the immune system attacks healthy cells over time. People, dealing with this disorder, make antibodies that attack an enzyme called glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD), which plays a pivotal role in making a neurotransmitter called gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA). GABA helps control muscle movement.</p>

<p>Meanwhile, antibodies to another protein called amphiphysin are a less common finding in people suffering from this syndrome. This protein is involved in helping nerve cells communicate with each other and is found in nerve terminals.</p>

<p>But, do remember that the exact role that GAD plays in the development or worsening of this syndrome is not totally understood by experts and scientists. In fact, there have been cases where people with this syndrome do not have detectable antibodies to GAD.</p>

Learn ways to prevent heart attack</a></p>

<h2>Symptoms of Stiff-person Syndrome</h2>

<ul>
	<li>Muscle stiffness near trunk and abdomen area</li>
	<li>Intense pain</li>
	<li>Discomfort</li>
	<li>Hunched posture</li>
	<li>Painful muscle spasms</li>
	<li>Uncomfortable sleep</li>
</ul>

<p>Symptoms for this disorder can take several months or years to develop. While some patients remain stable over the years, others' conditions worsen with time.</p>

<h2>Diagnosis available for the condition</h2>

<p>If you are experiencing one or more of the symptoms mentioned above, you must consult your healthcare provider. After a quick consultation, they will advise you to take a couple of tests. Here's a list!</p>

<p>Electromyography (EMG) - An EMG&nbsp;machine will be used to measure&nbsp;electrical activity in your muscles to detect continuous motor activity.</p>

<p>Blood test - A blood test will be done to check whether your body has antibodies to GAD or amphiphysin. It will also help detect signs that might indicate or rule out other diseases. About 60 and 80 per cent of people with stiff person syndrome have antibodies against GAD.</p>

<p>Lumbar puncture - For a lumbar puncture, a doctor uses a needle to draw fluid out of your spinal canal and checks for the presence of antibodies to GAD or for other signs.</p>
