My female betta has been looking sick for about three weeks...She's been getting worse. I've asked for help at other fish boards, but they won't reply to me. I don't know what to do, I'm not as knowledgable about bettas as some people. It looks like she has dropsy, maybe, but her scales aren't sticking out at all. she's been eating fine, she behaves normally, but she's huge and she's losing color on her sides. Please help me!

LUK ITS A FUZBALL
Eggs, maybe? I'm not sure about the paleness, though. Perhaps constipation. Try feeding her a cooked shelled pea.
Stats would be good in ammonia,nitrite,nitrate,and ph, what do you feed the fish as betta can get constipated and blow up through to many dried foods.
The sides are they fluffy or just white and pale, any signs of laboured breathing or flicking and rubbing on objects.

I don't know the water stats, I just feed her Hikari bio-Gold. Her sides look fluffy, and now that I'm looking closer, her scales are sticking up just a little. Her breathing looks normal, and she doesn't look like she's going out of her way to rub against things.
Immediate water change get stats checked, to be honest it not sounding to good if the scales are starting to raise, plus if the bit on her side are fluffy she has columnaris on top.
If she on her own try tetracycline, and please get the fish on a more varied diet of frozen foods and veg.
Also try an epson salt bath it will help draw the fluids out.
