Coronavirus in Scotland: Charity warns Covid will cause a spike in ME cases - as it calls for 'harmful' exercise treatment to be banned

CAMPAIGNERS have called on NHS Scotland to ban an exercise treatment which encourages patients with chronic fatigue to "push through" their symptoms, saying it has left some in a wheelchair.

Charity, ME Action Scotland, is pushing for the change ahead of what it fears will be a surge in cases of post-viral illness in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic.

More than 21,000 Scots already suffer from Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME), also known a chronic fatigue syndrome.
