Default Imuran

Hello! So looks like I will be starting some sort of immunosuppresant along with my IVIG in a month or so... They did a skin biopsy that looks like scleroderma and a hand xray that shows some damage... my Dr was talking about starting me on Methotrexate, but I have MTHFR 2 copies of c677t.... since methotrexate messes with folate, it makes me super nervous I could have more side effects- Anyone know anything about that?!?! Would methotrexate help MG/LEMS?

So, I was thinking maybe imuran would be more the way to go - it doesn't mess with folate.. and it helps neuro issues too..
Can Imuran be crushed? As I really can't/dont' swallow pills for the last 5 years.. What are y'alls worst side effects from the Imuran?

Thanks in advance for any advice/info!
