Thanks for your help.
One clarification: what constitutes a single dose of nux vomica 30c (10 drops in 20ml water like chelidonium or how many pills) ?

Dear Kadwa,
My heartfelt gratitude for the assistance you have provided. It has meant a great deal of relief for me. Report of my progress one day after completing recommended treatment of 10 days (1 day Nux Vomica followed by 9 days of Chalidonium, twice daily) is as follows:
STATUS OF PREVIOUSLY REPORTED SYMPTOMS :
1. Gripping pain, left rear neck muscle, travels downwards along spine (GONE)
2. Occasional traveling electric wave sensation along left rear neck muscle, through left arm, out through left thumb. (GONE)
3. Occasional pain in left lower limb, knee (REDUCED)
4. General weakness in left side of the body (REDUCED)
5. Perpetual daytime fatigue, whole body muscular pain, burning sensation and strain in eyes (REDUCED)
6. Superficial sleep at night, vivacity during evening (significantly REDUCED)
8. Severe feeling of tiredness midway during night sleep, accompanied by restlessness of lower limbs, groaning, tendency to take deep breaths for getting relief. (GONE)
9. Increased heaviness and lethargy on rising, requires 5-7 minutes of limb movement before body starts getting under control. (REDUCED)
10. Lately developing a feeling of slight mental confusion during decision making. (IMPROVED)
11. Observing increasing mental sluggishness, taciturnity, feeling of indifference to the world around (IMPROVED)
12 Occasional melancholy, sadness, aversion to communication, feeble depression for no specific reason. (REDUCED)
OBSERVATION DURING MEDICATION:
1. First seven days of Chelidonium Q : very effective in mitigating symptoms (1-12 above).
2. On 8th day at 4:00 am while sleeping , experienced a severe cramp in left calf muscle, lasting about 3 minutes. Had extremely restricted movement of left leg for the following 4-5 hours due to residual pain. (This is the second incident of severe cramp over last 2 years with no prior history of cramps).
3. On the same day (8th) evening, developed a sore throat with pinching feeling in place of (removed) left tonsil after having cold drinking water. Within next eight hours, developed left ear ache with onset of severe allergic sinusitis/rhinitis affecting the left half of face and head more severely.
4. Still recovering from sinusitis/rhinitis, some of the muscular pain which had earlier disappeared appears to have returned.
IMPORTANT RECOLLECTION:
I have been a patient of chronic allergic sinusitis and rhinitis for over two decades now. Forgot to mention it in my case history earlier (perhaps because I have almost forgotten what it is to be living without it). The problem arose two decades ago as a secondary infection with primary being a winter viral fever. It was so severe, that the left part of the face turned blue from infectioin, forcing doctors to force wash the sinusus with saline water followed by oral administration of antibiotics for over a month. I remember doctors having told me I was very lucky that the infection had not traveled to my brain through the nervous system. Ever since I have developed hyper-sensitivity to ambient temperature changes, discomfort from humidity and intolerance for cold. Presence of even one of these conditions almost always trigger bouts of allergic sinusitis/rhinitis without failure.
QUESTIONS:
1. Could history of sinitus/rhinitis be root cause of my present medical condition (symptoms 1-12) by affecting the nervous system ?
2. Would like to know your diagnosis so that I can understand my disease better.
I am glad that homeopathy really works. Please guide further on future course of treatment.

Would like to know your diagnosis so that I can understand my disease better.
Nux Vomica works for rectifying the ill-effects of sedentary life style. Chelidonium is a prime liver remedy. Lack of regular exercise and problems with the liver is responsible for your sickness.
We will repeat our earlier treatment plan for the next 10 days and review the position after 10 days.
day 1
please take three doses of nux vomica 30c at a gap of three hours
day 2 to day 10
please take 10 drops of chelidonium Q twice a day in the morning and evening.
Please read my posts on the breathing exercises called as Anulom Vilom Pranayam and Kapalbhati Pranayam by following the links given below. Please practise these pranayams regularly for half an hour preferably in a garden early in the morning.

Thanks Kadwa,
Have been jogging 35min/day followed by the prayanam you suggest for 10 min/day, almost regularily during the last 2 years. It definitely helps. However, homeopathic medication taken during the last 10 days seems to have catalyzed the healing process.
As advised, will repeat medication for another 10 days.

Dear Kadwa,
As suggested by you, I have :
a) Completed a second round of 10 days treatment with Nux Vomica and Chelidonium Q. b) Have increased Anulom Vilom Pranayam to ten complete cycles (1 cycle = left-right-right-left)daily.
c) Have increased Kapalbharti Pranayam to 40 cycles (1cycle = inhale-exhale)daily.
d) Continue with 35mins of jogging daily.
The two pranayam b) and c) together take about 17-20 mins as I do them rather slowly or else I feel tired all day.
STATUS OF ORIGINAL SYMPTOMS IS AS FOLLOWS:
1. Gripping pain, left rear neck muscle, travels downwards along spine (GONE)
2. Occasional traveling electric wave sensation along left rear neck muscle, through left arm, out through left thumb. (GONE),
However , lately for the last two days I have a feeling of numbness in my little finger of the left hand.
3. Occasional pain in left lower limb, knee (GONE)
4. General weakness in left side of the body (GONE)
5. Perpetual daytime fatigue, whole body muscular pain, burning sensation and strain in eyes (almost GONE)
6. Superficial sleep at night, vivacity during evening (GONE)
8. Severe feeling of tiredness midway during night sleep, accompanied by restlessness of lower limbs, groaning, tendency to take deep breaths for getting relief. (GONE)
9. Increased heaviness and lethargy on rising, requires 5-7 minutes of limb movement before body starts getting under control. (significantly REDUCED)
10. Lately developing a feeling of slight mental confusion during decision making. (GONE)
11. Observing increasing mental sluggishness, taciturnity, feeling of indifference to the world around (GONE)
12 Occasional melancholy, sadness, aversion to communication, feeble depression for no specific reason. (GONE)
SOME OBSERVATIONS
1. Once again I had a cramp in the calf muscles, this time of the right leg.
2. Have observed that symptoms like lethargy and body/muscular pains are also related to aggravated sinitus/rhinitis.
3. In general now I have started feeling muscle stiffness. I do not know if that is a side effect of medication.
Please let me know, how to continue the treatment further. It is certainly helping me a great deal and I thank you for it.
