Anyone without migraines that have tried Botox given by qualified Neurologist and had good or bad experience? Side effects?

They have informed me they are not migraines or trigeminal neuralgia. Best guess... atypical facial pain that is on the left side and runs up by temple and scalp. All dental and endodontic stuff looked into as well. Root canal only took away tooth sensitivity. Indocin at 75mg helps on the bad days, but i would rather not take it every 8hrs every day. Lots of risks using that over a long period of time.
I had the neurologist at Stanford movement clinic give me Botox for corticobasal syndrome no help and no side affects.
Has anyone had chronic visual snow (constant visual aura) -It does calme down after my cortisone injections and botox. I also have tinnitus all the time plus chronic pain.
Hello @arabella and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. Thank you for posting your comment about visual aura. I'm sorry to hear you are suffering with such symptoms. That must be tough to deal with. I'm glad to hear you get some relief from your injections.
I would like to introduce you to other members @bostonsanfran, @shellyg, @emiliaolga and @dongee; all here discussing visual aura, tinnitus, acupuncture and chanting sound waves.
Our goal is to connect you with someone that you can relate to and share thoughts and ideas with. We have had great success connecting members who have been able to support each other and/or even propose something that has worked to alleviate symptoms that another member may benefit from.
While we wait for others to join discussion, here is a short video on visual aura http://bit.ly/2l9asVT and this discussion taking place on buzzing in the ears was also interesting to read. https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/buzzing-in-ears/
Can you tell the community how long you have been suffering with such symptoms? Are your symptoms caused from migraines?
