Mom started peeing 100x/day!!! She is NOT incontinent. Her sleep is interrupted. Will have Urology appt in July to evaluate the urgency. Meanwhile, we parked a bedside commode next to her bed. I need a TP roll holder to attach. And a low privacy surround/curtain. Can't find accessories on Amazon, or even at a medical supply house. Not on Etsy, nowhere! I may just fashion one out of cardboard, or some frame upon which I can hang a curtain.
I could see this happening and it being NOT in her head.
I have interstitial cystitis that occasionally flares.
I have absolutely gone 25 times in one night, when the flares have been at their worst. So, what seems about a hundred times a day doesn’t seem wacky to me.
I have had every test in the books, at times. Urologists have shrugged their shoulders at me.
What has helped is to go on a low oxalate diet. It really helps to keep the flares to a minimum.

As for the possibility of being in a dementia loop. There's only one way to break one of those and that's to ignore it. Pay it no attention. Put her on a regular toileting schedule (every hour during the day to start), then ignore the other requests to go to the bathroom.
A good toileting schedule along with some anti-anxiety meds will be a big help.
Same with the screen, not a low one but I found a lot and prices range. Put in "Medical Privacy Screen"
I found both items on Amazon too.
This is not normal age related decline.
