Does anyone have any theories why this is? It’s one of the symptoms I struggle to get my head around what could be happening to cause it.

My best friend became profoundly affected 2 months ago and it breaks my heart I can’t even provide silent company anymore even with eye mask and ear plugs - it seems just knowing I was there was enough to make him feel crashy so we had to stop visits. This disease is so strange and cruel.

Edit: thank you all for your sensitive explanations, everything you’ve said makes sense. Hang in there y’all, stay hopeful💛
