Our third guest on the new Living with MS Podcast is Suzanne Ryder, who currently lives in Tuam, Co. Galway, and hails originally from Ballinrobe, Co. Mayo. Suzanne’s journey is one of deep purpose and resilience. Suzanne is a new member of the MS & Me Blog team and you can read all the MS Ireland blogs here https://www.ms-society.ie/ms-and-me

In 1977, Suzanne joined the Mercy Sisters, dedicating her life to service. She later pursued a degree and Higher Diploma in Education in Maynooth, and after answering the call to serve as a missionary in Peru.

It was during her time in Peru that Suzanne first began to experience symptoms of multiple sclerosis (MS), which eventually led her to return to Ireland to seek a diagnosis. Remarkably, Suzanne was already familiar with MS—five members of her extended family also live with the condition.

Today, Suzanne shares with us her extraordinary and inspiring story: her mission work, her diagnosis, and how she continues to live a meaningful life with MS.

Listen to Suzanne’s heartfelt reflections and powerful message of courage and hope.

The Living with MS Podcast series aims to give a voice to the Irish MS community as our guests share their own personal multiple sclerosis story from diagnosis to today.

Every person with MS has different symptoms, different reactions to being diagnosed, different journeys and this series aims to share those stories every month to hopefully help you get a better understanding of MS.
