Discus help please!

I need help with one of my discus please.
I have a mated pair of Discus that I have had for a few years. A few months ago, the female started standing on her head which, I now know, is called "Head Standing". I have read several things on this disease. I think that it is a swim bladder disease. I have also read several possible cures for this problem.
I have seperated the female and put in enough water to just cover her back. I added Epsom Salts to the water and have not fed her for 3 days. Tonight, I fed her some frozen peas as I read this is a possible cure.

Does anyone have any possible cures for this? Thanks!

you are lucky that your discus has survived so long. try giving peas, make sure that you will not have anything that she can get stuck on, and you should be ok because most diseases lead into stress, so make sure you take good care of her. what are your water parameters?
