A Texas girl is baffling doctors over her constant sneezing. Katelyn, 13, sneezes up to a staggering 12,000 times a day, averaging at least 20 times a minute.
The machine gun rapid sneezing started a few weeks ago after Katelyn left a clarinet lesson. The family has since visited six doctors, all whom have ruled out viruses and allergies.
Katelyn and her family spoke to KRIV and said it’s so bad that Katelyn can’t go to school. It started just a few weeks ago. “I just started in little spurts, sneezing…I’m constantly in pain with my abdomen; my legs are weak. I can barely eat,” Katelyn said. Katelyn told KRIV the only relief she gets is when she is able to fall asleep after taking Benadryl. “Sometimes I wish I could leave my body for a little while so I could watch myself sleep and be at peace because even in my dreams, I sneeze.” h/t fox8
