I would treat her with maracyn two now to stand a chance, read this little bit of info here on columnaris signs.

I have no meds names that, and am not able to get to the store. i dont think she has a chance now anyways. I just checked on her and she isnt even moving her fins. I tried to help her up to breath, but she didnt even make it up.
okay! So I just realized something!!
So when I go in with the net and help her sit on her stomach are she is fine. Sh moves a bit, but her tail is up in the "air" it doesnt touch the bottom. So I put food in there and she goes at it, but she cant quite reach the top, as her tail isnt moving! Then she falls onto the bottem of the bowl. It seems like if her tail would move she would be fine.

I wonder if she's got some kind of weird internal infection going on - that can mess with the swim bladder. How deep is the water she's in?

hmm...
Wow, I'm not exactly sure what to tell you here.
If you could get ahold of some meds eventually, I'd give maracyn 2 a try.
Maybe if you can dig up a nice soft silk plant or little piece of a real plant for her to lay on she might be more comfortable. And I guess get some salt, too, when you can.
I really don't know what could be causing the seizures - unless it just truly is seizures... if it's not parasites. I suspect it could be that, though.
Keep us posted.

have you taken the temperature of the water she is in? if shes too cold then maybe her system is shutting down.
could also be a nerve problem somewhere, if she has a bacterial infection then it may be damaging her nervous system.

i take it the water she is in is dechlorinated, but have you used one that removes heavy metals as she could be being slowly poisoned and its affecting just her. have you done tests for ammonia, nitrite, nitrate and ph recently as it would be good to see those to rule them out.
no, no sea food.
Well my update on keenyah:
After dinner I went up stairs to watch the finally of ANTM, hoping the name sake would win, but she didnt. So I looked at Keenyah and she was actually swimming normally. Her tail though still seems to be not the best. This morning she is still normal, but i did move her bowl so that I could see her easily, as apposed to being on a shelve. She was putting her head up near the top and swimming around a bit, though always with the head up near the water so that she can breath. I assume she may be afraid to fall on the bottem again and not be able to breath again? I dont even knoe if fish can have that feeling. But she seems to be doing better. I would like to do a WC on her and but her into a larger bowl for her, maybe put her in Jennifur Magdelenas bowl for the time being, but then she will have no where to go. But she is a healthy active little thing and i dont want to convine her to a tiny walmart cup, though my stre has the bigger size. That is what I put keenyah in to transport her to school, and after seeing that she was in no shape to go, I didnt want to stress her more my moving her. I do have a 1/2 gallon bowl I can place her in, but I am worried about stress.
