Lauren Johnson is an ordinary 12-year-old girl from the US state of Virginia. But two weeks ago, she had a strange feature
Having caught a cold, Lauren began to sneeze. And since then he cannot stop. It gives out about 12 thousand sneezes per day - 20 times a minute. And this is not some kind of practical joke. During the short television interview - the girl was invited to the Today Show - she sneezed over a hundred times. Very intelligent - into the cam. And quiet as a kitty.
The girl does not like sneezing - it interferes with eating. And she does not go to school because of her strange discomfort. Although she assures her that it doesn't hurt at all - it's just not comfortable. And she can rest only at night. When Lauren falls asleep, he stops sneezing.
For two weeks, the doctors were unable to help the girl. It has only been suggested that she suffers from the machine gun sneezing syndrome, which sometimes occurs.
Lauren and her mother Lynn have already visited 11 doctors. But none of them offered any effective treatment. They tried nasal drops, hypnosis, and psychotherapists … As a result, the unfortunate ones asked for help from the TV screen.
Lynn herself conducted a small investigation using the Internet. And I found out that there were about forty similar cases of "machine gun sneezing" in the history of medicine. At the same time, doctors only fixed them and made a helpless gesture. The syndrome started suddenly. And just as suddenly it stopped. For some, it resumed after some time.
The only thing doctors are sure of now is that continuous sneezing has nothing to do with swine flu. And even with a cold is not associated - it only provoked the syndrome.
And now the girl's sneezing is most likely a mental and still mysterious reaction.
