Hi there, a friend´s husband, 65 years old, has recently been diagnosed with Pek or Peck syndrome. He´s going downhill really fast, and has an odd symptom: he won´t talk to you in person, but he will if you call him on the phone...even if you´re sitting right next to him!!!
Does any one know anything about this disease? Can´t find any info!!
Thanks
