Phil wish i cld give u more help, I remeber the thought of going to MTX was a huge deal for me, but I got my head around the idea eventually, was on it for 2 years b4 starting the Enbrel, so when Biologics nurse suggested that I begin Enbrel along with MTX, I jumped at the chance, but also didnt feel anxious like I did when I first began MTX, I dont feel any more sideaffects than I did Just on MTX...I do get fatigue, but think thats normal with this condition anyway.... I reckon U will be ok...let us know Phil please, cos it helps others on here knowing how u r coping

good luck.Chin up, Its a new start 4 u x
