sorry about your situation, striker. No real help here, but just wanted to let you know that it sounds like you're doing all the right things.
Something I might add though, when my turtles got really sick, we actually took them out of water entirely, and they only had one hour or so a day in fresh water to re-hydrate and eat/etc. It took about 4-6 months of daily attention, but we got it all cleared up eventually. Keep in mind that turtles that weren't raised properly, or had a history of illness as hatchlings will always suffer from health issues, and will be quick to become ill.
Also try Australian Freshwater Turtles and Frogs. Yahoo group. Go to yahoo, and search for AustralianFreshwaterTurtlesandFrogs, and post there. they are fab!!!

Good luck
