When It Is Good to have Asthma

I get so sick of asthma! I cannot go outside in the winter hardly ever, and I am always coughing and having to sleep in the chair! I don't see what is good about having asmtha except...last week all of my siblings got really sick with influenza but I got the flu shot since I have asmtha and SO I didn't get it! Maybe my treatments and medicine do pay off!
