CFS - new job, should I take it?

Hi everyone, I am 24. I have been offered an 'exciting' new job which a few months ago I would have jumped at.

However I am really unwell with CFS at the moment, experiencing old symptoms (constant tiredness) but also new ones (nausea, bad pain and cramp in my hands and arms, headaches). Some of my symptoms have improved since moving home (stomach problems, skin infections).  The new job would require me to move and all the stress associated with that. The job may be interesting and distract me from feeling so awful. Or I may not be able to cope and have to give up (again), which will be very difficult. 

I don't know what to do.

    i would not take the job.

    It will only make your CFS worse beleive me you do not want to get worse.

    It really is a difficult decision I can see that.

    Best of luck.
