I was prescribed mtx about 2 years ago for Crohn's, I took it for about 2 months before my immune system totally gave up. I ended up in hospital for a week due to severe infection.

I wouldn't be put off by what you read or hear, I was also given azathioprine which caused me pancreatitis, this only happens to about 2% of people who take the drug, so it's the same with mtx, I'm one of those that has an intolerance to medication, you on the other hand might not get any side effects all and it could be a total success. So try to be positive is the best advice I can give and not give into what you read.
