This article is from two days ago, but I don't think it has been shared here yet.
It's about how journalists can approach 'long-haulers' with consideration and respect. I assume quite a lot of this can be transferred to ME patients as well. ME is also mentioned in the article.
It's written...
Here's link to the preview of the book:
Joel Young, MD, in this heavily researched book, explains why it is a true physical illness, and how it may be treated. He details how he successfully treats the symptoms, which can include severe fatigue, "brain fog," chronic pain, and sleep problems...

Trial by Error by David Tuller: From UK's National Health Service, "Your COVID recovery"
