Is this TSWV? (pics)
Just curious if this is a lost cause. I have a very limited amount of self watering containers and don't want to waste time on a plant that will die eventually:

I'm gonna guess Phosphorus deficiency.

Seconding Tim's response. I had the same stuff (speckling on the older leaves), but it cleared up after a few weeks of pampering. Keep an eye on it, though.

Ok great, I'll see if I can get some more Phosphorus into its roots... or would a foliar application be better?

I did both with Miracle Grow Soluble @ a rate of 1 tablespoon per gallon until I saw improvement.

Doesn't look like TSWV to me. In all the cases of TSWV I have had, it struck new growth in the top half of the plant first; usually showing up first on a fast growing sucker.
