Garter snake emergancy!!!!!!!!!

Hello everyone! Quick question... My garter is laying on her back and seems to have lost control of her muscles or something... I don't know... maybe she was climbing and fell off her rock & is having trouble getting on her belly? She is actually slithering around of her back... Again. she's fighting to try and flip herself onto her belly and has not suceeded. The closest reptile vet is 45 minutes away in a car, and two hours on the bus + I don't think they'd let me on the bus with my snake. I do not have a car... Is she just being silly or is she sick?? She has been acting very odd lately. She's been a bit fussy during handling and usually she'll explore my hands and arms but she has just been laying in my hands, without much response to me. I am pretty scared, and nervous and I don't know what this is. I haven't experienced anything close to this in the past. And she's struggling, trying to flip herself, as if she's exhausted. She's wild caught so I thought it could potentially be some sort of parasites she picked up or something?? Again... Any input on what this could be is VERY VERY much appreciated. also... should I help her get back onto her belly or leave her alone???
