What is Vasculitis? 
 
According to Mayo Clinic, a person diagnosed with Vasculitis has inflammatory blood vessels. The inflammation can cause the thickening of the walls of the blood vessel and reduce the width of the passageway through the vessel. If blood flow is restricted, it may lead to organ and tissue failure.

There are several types of vasculitis and they may affect one organ or several. Most of cases vasculitis is rare. The person diagnosed with the disease may have symptoms that can last a long time or for a short duration. The disease is also not age restricted and can happen to anyone. Depending on the type you have, you may improve without treatment. Most types require medications to control the inflammation and prevent flare-ups.

What are the symptoms of Vasculitis? 
 
A person suffering from Vasculitis may have fever, headache, experience fatigue, weight loss and general aches and pains.&nbsp; 
 
If the stomach or intestine is affected you may experience pain after eating. Ulcers and perforations are possible and may result in blood in the stool. 
 
If it has affected the ears, one can experience dizziness, and ringing in the ears and abrupt hearing loss may also occur in certain cases. 
 
Vasculitis can make your eyes look red and itch or burn. Giant cell arteritis can cause double vision and temporary or permanent blindness in one or both eyes. This is sometimes the first sign of the disease. 
 
Some types of vasculitis can cause numbness or weakness in a hand or foot. The palms of the hands and soles of the feet might swell or harden. 
 
If it affects the lungs one may develop shortness of breath or even cough up blood if vasculitis affects your lungs.

"You don't really appreciate it until it`s gone. 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,'" added Kutcher.

Kutcher admitted that he felt he was "lucky to be alive" and claimed the diagnosis helped him gain perspective on life.&nbsp; 
 
"The minute you start seeing your obstacles as things that are made for you, to give you what you need, then life starts to get fun, right? You start surfing on top of your problems instead of living underneath them," he told Bear Grylls. 
 
In the past too Kutcher has suffered health scares as he had been diagnosed with pancreatitis twice after drinking too much carrot juice while preparing to portray Apple founder Steve Jobs in the film titled 'Jobs'. 
 
In 2019, during an episode of 'Hot Ones', Kutcher said, "I was studying (Steve Jobs`s) eating habits and his behaviours and was told that he drank a lot of carrot juice. So I started drinking carrot juice non-stop, like, all day long," 
 
The actor's wife Mila Kunis, however, claimed he had downplayed his experience. "He`s downplaying it. He was so dumb. He also, I think, only ate grapes at one point," she said.&nbsp;
