No tips, but here's somethign that I hope will give you encouragement.
I have a friend who has various chronic issues, and who I therefore can't always get time with out and about.
Said friend has cats.
I have bad, bad allergies to cats.
It is non-trivial for me to go over and visit, because I need to dose up beforehand and may still wind up feeling the effects afterwards for some time. That said, when I go it is of my own free choice, knowing the cost and believing that time with my friend is worth it.
There will be people for whom seeing you is also a reward despite whatever the hassle factors may be. Trust them to decide for themselves what they can manage, just as they trust you to say "sorry, today is just worse than I thought and we'll have to reschedule".
