Lauren Johnson, 12-Year-Old Girl, Says She Sneezes 12,000 Times a Day

That's a whole lotta Kleenex. Lauren Johnson is a 12-year-old girl who says she just cannot stop sneezing. The middle schooler caught a cold two weeks ago, and can't seem to shake the urge to sneeze, saying she can sneeze up to 12,000 times a day.

Doctors call the condition "machine gun sneezing." Johnson, who has been unable to attend school due to the sneezing, has visited six doctors seeking a cure for the non-stop sneezing, with no results so far.

One doctor thinks Johnson's unique symptoms could be a case of "irretractable psychogenic disorder," and caused by stress. Still, with only 40 cases documented in the world, it's a rare problem that doesn't seem to have easy solutions.

Johnson does get a little bit of respite. When she sleeps and enters into REM sleep, she apparently stop sneezing.
