the

has
opened
up
about
being
diagnosed
with
a
"rare
form
of

an
autoimmune
disease
that
left

see,
hear
or

the
diagnosis

In

by

programme
Access
Hollywood,
Ashton
Kutcher
said:
"Like
two
years
ago,
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."
In
the
video,
the
44-year-old
further
said
it
took
him
a
year
to
build
his
life
from
scratch
and
that
he
was
lucky
to
be
alive.
"You
don't
really
appreciate
it
until
it's
gone,
until
you
go,
'i
don't
know
if
i'm
ever
going
be
able
to
see
again.
I
don't
know
if
i'm
going
be
able
to
hear
again,
i
don't
know
if
i'm
going
to
be
able
to
walk
again.
I'm
lucky
to
be
alive," he
added.
After

clip
went
viral

on

saying
the

made
a
full
recovery.
"Before
