It was really dumb." Kunis continued: "It was so stupid. I ended up in the hospital on the maximum dose of Dilaudid because my pancreas was, like, crazy out of whack." "Two weeks before we went to start shooting, all of a sudden I had this pain in my back. "You don’t really appreciate it until it’s gone," the actor added.

"You start surfing on top of your problems instead of living underneath them." "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 don't really appreciate it until it's gone," the " That '70s Show" alum continued.

The 44-year-old actor said it took him nearly a year to recover.

In some cases, surgery is needed to repair severe damage. Some people with vasculitis are given steroids to help reduce inflammation. Some people experience vasculitis once or several times a year, with symptoms developing either slowly over months or rapidly over days to weeks. In some cases, vasculitis is thought to be an autoimmune disorder that for unknown reasons tricks the immune system into attacking its own healthy blood vessels. Vasculitis can also occur alongside cancers or other diseases such as leukemia, rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, or Sjögren's syndrome (an immune system disorder that causes dry eyes and mouth). It’s unclear what type of vasculitis Kutcher experienced, but most are considered rare, particularly the cases that cause blindness and deafness.

Vasculitis is a disease that causes the walls of a person's blood vessels to thicken, sometimes cutting off blood supply to some organs and tissues. “You don't ...

Kutcher and Kunis, who tied the knot in June 2015, met on the set of That ’70s Show, which ran for eight seasons from 1998 to 2006. It was so random and fun.” During his episode of “Hot Ones” in September 2019, Kutcher recalled experiencing intense back pain just two weeks before filming began. “I went to the hospital like two days before we started shooting the movie.

Treatment depends on the type of vasculitis and the organs that are affected. Vasculitis is a family of rare diseases that involve inflammation of the blood vessels. "Any nerve damage often takes months to recover from, because the nerves have to regrow, and that happens slowly," Merkel said. You start surfing on top of your problems instead of living underneath them." Similarly, inflammation of the ear canal or nerve damage can cause hearing loss.
