Budd Chiari:
Nick Smoke's life was overwhelmingly altered the day he found out he had a rare and life-threatening liver disease called Budd Chiari. At 24 years old, he was a working actor with a flourishing career and no reason to be seriously worried about his health —he didn't drink or smoke, he took good care of himself, and had already come through a lot in life; It seemed like he could finally relax. The next couple years of his life tested him physically, emotionally, and mentally and, today, he sits on the other side: Back to work, in love, and excited for what comes next. Of course what happened in between is a story not to be missed—find out how Nick got better, and how he lives today so he can remain as symptom-free as possible.
More about Nick:
Nick Smoke is a working actor in Los Angeles. You can find him on instagram @mrnickys, on Twitter @nickysmoke and you can follow his Tumblr blog, Too Young to be Here. If you are a person dealing with Budd Chiari, you can direct message Nick on any of these platforms.
