Hi Snarky Texan, I don't think we have crossed paths yet so firstly warm welcome to our club 
I am currently on a break from MTX while a chest infection disappears. I did have similar muzzy head/tiredness for the first week or so but this fortunately went away. The heartburn thing though I haven't had even though I do have a hiatus hernia. Indigestion/heartburn/gastric reflux is a recognised side effect. Maybe antacids could help with this and here comes the but, many of these can have an adverse effect causing the body not to get shut of the MTX as quick as it should.
I can understand the Dermys' reluctance to try something else but if you are not tolerating MTX now it will only ever get worse and I would be looking to try something else.
I don't have that much experience with MTX but if you need any more advice just yell out, somebody will be happy to help
