Cheryl;
I am not sure if it is a side effect of the MDS - but since you have mentioned it - Earl has certainly been more thirsty at night. When he goes to bed, he has a full 20 ounce bottle of water, and often he will wake me and ask me to get him some more. Of course, he is on Lasix - a diuretic - but he takes that in the early AM - and always has plenty of fluids after that during the day. I will certainly ask the Doc the next time I see him.
Good Luck to You.

Beth
