Ongoing RI

So, to start from the beginning. My female pastel ball python got her first RI last winter, when my past roommates snake came in contact with her.... My roommate took awful care of her snakes and gave mine a RI, ever since she's had on and off ones. Maybe 2 times. I've been having good results with Reptaid. But I have no idea why she keeps getting them. Her tank is perfectly balanced with good temps and humidity. For now I can't do anything besides administering her reptaid. I get paid on the 30th, and I will be getting her Fortaz after that if her RI is still present. I'm having awful anxiety cause of this and worried she's going to die. If you have any tips for me please leave me a comment. I'm so worried I can't focus on anything else, not even wanting to see my family for Christmas. I love her so much she's my world and I'll take any suggestions until I can get her meds.

What are the temps and humidity?

Many times with RI it is suggested to bump them up a bit. Normal may not be what you need right now.

I bumped her regular basking temp from 90 to 95. Ambient is 83. Humidity is 40 ish right now. I don't know if I should bump the humidity up top

A bit more humidity may be a good thing.

Just throwing this out there ... I successfully treated a Royal with RI a few years ago by using one of my mum's old portable nebuliser with some F10 . I've seen similar portable nebulisers on eBay for under £30 .

It's not just an upcoming shed?

Try humidity between 55% and 60%.
