TL/DR:
"I started wearing a sweatshirt and hand warmers at work, and I avoided caffeine on the days I went to the office. The pain went away, and so far hasn’t come back."
I understand that keeping back this information is a rethorical tool to force the reader to read the article to the very end, but I believe it is a dishonest strategy of keeping people reading.
- wierd0 8y agoIt's probably a retorical tool but not used to trick you into doing something you didn't want to do in the first place but instead used to asure you that all the "ordinary" remedies were visited but they were unhelpful.
- contravariant 8y agoIf you're trying to skim the article you really ought to read the beginning and end first.

- donquichotte 8y agoThe books I read have non-trivial content and are written in an engaging fashion, so, no, I don't.
- crummy 8y agoProbably the point of the article is not simply to relay information in the simplest information possible but to couch it in a narrative to make it seem more memorable, more enjoyable, and more reliable.
