Hello Dylan,

I need more information from you.  :-))
What type of UVB light are you using, is it a compact or coil or a flourescent tube light?  Are you using a bright white basking light along with it?
Are her eyes closed all of the time, or swollen?  
What are the temps in the tank, & what do you measure them with?  A stick on type of thermometer, a digital probe or a temp gun?
What type of substrate are you using, sand, shelf liner, carpet?  
How long has she been not feeling well?  
How old is she?
