Default Anyone experience nausea after a brain shunt?

Hi! I am brand new to this web site and thought I'd look for some answers for my adult son's dilemma here. He has gone through two drainage and two shunting procedures as a result of a fairly large cyst on his brain. The second shunt surgery was supposedly successful and the headaches are virtually gone but he is left with chronic nausea, vomiting and fatigue which of course make functioning in daily life extremely difficult. He has tried numerous prescribed and over-the-counter meds but to no avail. Has anyone out there had a similar experience and, if so, any suggestions on how to deal with it? Any recommendations would be gratefully appreciated. Thanks.

Barbara
