Lauren Johnson seems to have a mental problem and not a medical problem. Im surprised the doctors have not seen this. If it was medical she would sneeze while sleeping as well. She has some strange need for attention. Or it could be a mental issue like turrets syndrome. I think she should seek psychiatric help or her mom needs to knock some sense into her and tell her to quit trying to get this attention. The sneezes are totally fake. Nice way to try to get on TV and try to get attention from friends.

I agree with you she is totally faking it. There are times she doesn't even close her eyes when sneezing..a sure sign that the sneeze isn't genuine. I am stunned by what people will do for a minute in front of the camera...

She never closes her eyes and it seems to be coming out of her mouth; can you spell attention seeking???

Nancy Snyderman just confirmed that it's coming from her mouth and is psychological. She actually stopped for a while as Nancy was speaking and just started again when Ann spoke. ATTENTION!!??

It is spelled Tourette Syndrome; it is not an attention seeking way to get on TV, wow, you people posting are very opinionated, you want the mom to smack some sense in to her... what a hater.. it is a Tic, research this… don’t just post mean comments about something you do not know about or experienced. As a person with TS, it is not a fun thing to have these compulsions that you try to control and the more you try, the more pronounced they become and the longer they manifest themselves…

when you do a quick search you will see stressful situations bring this on, and they can "wax and wane" (come and go); the typical onset is right in the age frame she is in, but the Atypical thing is she is a female, this is mostly a male disorder...

She may have a sinus clog up in her nose and she keeps on sneezing or some sneezes are psychosomatic reactions to disquieting emotions or thoughts.

Why is she around cats at home hugging them?

idk if she's faking it because pretending this long would be annoying for anyone. I think she has touretts or something in that way. Or maybe this a male disorder and she has some access testosterone because it is common for females and males to have these kind of affects. The amount of the testosterone could indeed cause her to get a male disorder? who knows all this would cost a lot of time and money. There are just so many possibilities.

Give me a break Kanc - knock some sense into the girl? Are you insane? The sneezes ARE NOT totally fake. You go ahead and try to sneeze 12 times a minute on purpose for 24 hours and tell me how you can keep it up. What a bunch of jerks you people are - the mother came on tv to try to find help, not to gain attention. There are plenty of easier ways to gain attention. When my brother was in high school he had pneumonia and as a result he ended up having the hiccups for months (literally having to hiccup every 10 seconds); he would pass out and literally could not function. The doctors finally put him on some anti seizure meds temporarily that stopped him. Apparently the pneumonia had left its mark on his body that left him involuntarily hiccupping. It was awful! Shame on you people for insinuating she has a mental condition. People just don't wake up one day and say "hey, I think I'll get attention by sneezing all the time".

Since when did Nancy Snyderman become the expert for all things related to medical conditions? She was only offering her opinion, trying to help. Do you read the National Inquirier too?

Totally faking it. The mom doesn't do a great job of faking her crying either. Crazy!

I AGREE , T.S. is the first thing that came to my mind.. she seems not to be really sneezing, but showing more of a tic.

Umm actually she did stop...and those aren't real sneezes. She is totally suffering from tourretts syndrome and it's a shame for her parents to exploit it on national tv...maybe the parents need some sense knocked into them.

She would litterally die if she sneezed....your heart stops everytime you sneeze...so she'd probably have some MAJOR hear problems if those sneezes are real...just sayin

Your heart does not actually stop beating when you sneeze, thats only a myth.

I don't care what anyone says, this girl is faking faking faking her problem. I make an effort to turn the channel when I see this crap on TV. Shame on NBC for even bringing this little brat and bitch mom back on tv.

I say TS as well. If I sneezed that often my body would not only move but my sleeve would be at least VERY wet if not by snot but by the release of spit which everyone releases when they sneeze. No ah..ah..ah choo! Just fzzz..fzzz.fzzz.

And hicups don't compare at all, hiccups are a form of spasm and sneezing is a function of irration, kinda like this garbage being shown on tv all the time.
