CHESAPEAKE, Va. (WAVY) - The sneezing has finally stopped for a local Chesapeake girl who sneezed in upwards of 15 times per minute, for five months straight. She and her mother appeared on NBC's Today Show Thursday -- on a mission to continue Lauren's progress, while helping others diagnosed with the controversial syndrome doctors say sparked it all.
Lauren Johnson was diagnosed with PANDAS in December. It's a relatively new syndrome triggered in the brain by bacteria that causes strep throat.
