This is a 5 year old child..
This child started losing his balance and falling to his left side when he was about 4 years old. He gets wobbley when he's tired and falls alot, his hands shake, you can see a differrence between his right and left side, from his shoulders down, his left side is a little lower than his right. He's been going through medical testing for past year and they haven't found anything wrong with him but there is obviously something going on. Anyone see anything like this before?

You may have better luck if you take him to a teaching hospital (one affiliated with a medical school), as the attending doctors are leaders in their field. Start with Neurology.

I know a young adult male with these symptoms. The doctors are puzzled by his condition too. There is a lot of MS in his family so they suspect it in him. MS is diagnosed by discounting all the other things that there are specific tests for. Montel Williams is the ultimate person who can answer so many questions regarding MS and its diagnosis and treatment. I will pray for your family.

It sounds like seizure activity associated with the right side of the brain. If they have not done an MRI or EEG already it would be something to look into.

I am sorry, but I have never heard of anything like this. Has he seen a neurologist? It sounds like it could be a neurological problem. I wish you the best of luck.

Impaired listening to or partial deafness. With tinnitus, there is virtually continually a noise of a few definition or different in ones ears and this impacts the listening to regardless of if there little or no noise.

I haven't, but if you damage one side of your brain, the opposite side is affected. i'm no doctor, nor do i pretend to be, but it seems like his right side of the brain can't keep up with the left. that will most likley mean he will be good at math (left brained).
if your really wooried, get a brain scan if they think that might be what's wrong
good luck, though

Almost sounds like the effects of a stroke or other neurological disfunction.
