Help with Paralysis and maybe Chiari Malformation

Here are my symptoms...

-slurred speech (if I try real hard I can sometimes mask it)
-tremors in left side of body mostly arm -very mild tremors in right side
-paralasis in left arm (arm moves about 3x slower than right)
-walk with a limp in left leg (have good days have bad)
-continuous lower left back 'pinched nerve' sensation
-occasional middle back 'pinched nerve sensation'
-fine motor skills are basically gone in left hand (i.e. can only type one-handed)

Doctors say I have a Chiari Malformation but it's not severe enough for surgery. They say my symptoms are caused by something else.
Meds they have me now are only helping slightly with the tremors but nothing else.

Please help me. I am a 35 year old male who's life is being stripped away because of this.
