'I had this weird, super rare form of vasculitis, that like knocked out my vision, it knocked out my hearing, it knocked out like all my equilibrium,' Kutcher said.
"You don't really appreciate it, until it's gone," Kutcher said,"Until you go, 'I don't know if I'm ever going to be able to see again, I don't know if I'm ever going to be able to hear again, I don't know if I'm ever going to be able to walk again'.
The Mayo Clinic describes vasculitis as"inflammation of the blood cells," which can cause walls of the cells to thicken and reduce the width of the passageway through the vessel. "If blood flow is restricted, it can result in organ and tissue damage," the Mayo Clinic says on its website. Vasculitis can impact one or multiple organs – and the condition can be short or long term, according to the Mayo Clinic. Symptoms of the disease include fever, fatigue, weight loss, general pains and aches, digestive system issues, dizziness, ringing in the ears, abrupt hearing loss, temporary or permanent blindness and shortness of breath.
