After-effects of pinealectomy

About six years ago my son (now age 23)was diagnosed with a pinealoma which was surgically removed. After three years he developed split vision because of the pressure on the eye region.
We have used prisms on his glasses to realign his sight and just recently had surgery on one eye to realign the vision.
My concern is the complaints which he has about headaches and the loss of feeling in his arms and legs. Also, the irregularity of sleep patterns.Is this an after-effect of the surgery?
Are there any supplements which he should investigate taking due to the lack of meletonin produced by the removed pineal gland?
