Starting methotrexate tips

Hi I posted last week about decision to stop Mycophenolate after 12 months and switch to Azathioprine, unfortunately blood tests found I'm not suitable so now the plan is to start Methotrexate next month.

Just wondering if anyone had any tips to manage side effects?

I've tolerated Hydroxy, Pred and Myco without any problematic side effects so I'm nervous!

Hospital have said they'll switch to injections if I can't tolerate it.

Do you find that your body has adjusted over time and side effects have lessened?

Thanks
