One person's summary:

"This study hits on all the major aspects of why someone with pre-pandemic ME would be active in long hauler subs: Hoping long Covid research will make people view ME/CFS as a legitimate disease, hoping a treatment for LC will work for ME, and sharing/getting advice for overlapping symptoms."
