Semi-chronic sneezing; what could it be?

Every once in awhile (maybe a total of 7 days--not consecutively--in a month), I will have a day where I just can NOT stop sneezing.  I'll sneeze a minimum of 75 times on one of those days, and sometimes more.  It seems like it's allergies, but as far as I'm aware, I'm not allergic to anything.  In addition to that, this will occur ANYWHERE, at ANY time.  It has been different seasons, different locations (indoor or outdoor), and even different STATES, but, without fail, I will have my "sneeze days."  I have no other symptoms, and my mucous is clear and thin--similar to allergies, I believe.  Sometimes my nose will run a bit, but that's only immediately after I sneeze.
Does anyone have any clue what this could be, or how I could prevent it from happening?  I would love to be relieved from this nuisance.


Looking for an answer or solution, because I don't have the money for health insurance OR a walk-in clinic.

99% of the time that it happens, it happens from the time I wake up (immediately after waking up, I mean) until the time I go to bed.  So I know for a fact it doesn't have anything to do with food or perfume (plus, I don't wear perfume, lol), or even with an AC/non-AC environment, since it doesn't get turned off in the middle of the night c( :

Thank you for the suggestions though! :)

Hi
Welcome to the MedHelp forum!
Since you do not have insurance, I suggest you start logging all the sneeze events. What you ate just before, where you were, anything common you see between all the events like any common perfume you wore etc. Maybe you will find the link. Other than thatsome people start sneezing if they move from an AC environment to a NO-AC one or vice versa. See if this is happening with you.
Hope this helps. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!
