I was diagnosed with severe asthma at 8 yrs old. The medicines for asthma back in the early 70's were horrible at best. As I got older, and meds were developed it has been pretty well controlled. I'll admit I took advantage of it through school getting out of some PE classes, but there were also times it held me back from activities I wanted to do. Luckily, neither of my kids has inherited the disease.
I've broken bones multiple times and had a pretty major shoulder surgery. Bones heal and shoulders recover, but asthma is there 24/7 and I have to deal with it daily.
