With metronomic regularity, the girl’s right arm rises to her face, her hand balled into a fist and partially covered by her sleeve. If Lauren Johnson is talking, she stops when her hand arrives at her nose. Then she sneezes. It’s not a big sneeze, but she has to stop to let it out. Then the hand drops and she resumes whatever she was doing. A few seconds later, the action is repeated.

Talk. Sneeze. Play. Sneeze. Sit still. Sneeze. Eat. Sneeze.

As many as 12 times a minute and 12,000 times a day, 12-year-old Lauren sneezes. And there’s nothing that six professionals, including doctors, a psychologist and a hypnotist, have been able to do to stop it.

Yep I can see how that would get on your nerves, seems like it has become a habit, like the boy who couldn't stop hic-cuping, it went on for years then for some unknown reason it just stopped.

Chriys I was thinking it sounds almost like an ocd or even a form of tourettes(sp). I think my dad would have smacked the sneezes out of me if they lasted as long as hers have.. :???: :lol:
