Manage episode 505516994 series 3562061
What does it mean to live with MS abroad? In this inspiring interview, I speak with Robert Joyce, MS patient, blogger at A 30 Minute Life, and strong advocate for patient involvement in research. Robert shares his journey from diagnosis at 23 to moving from Ireland to Spain for health reasons. We talk about the impact of climate, differences between Spanish and Irish healthcare, coping with chronic pain, and why patient voices are essential in research. He also gives us a glimpse into his hopes for the future of MS care and personalized medicine.
Topics we cover:
Robert’s MS diagnosis and turning points
Why he started A 30 Minute Life
Life with MS in Spain: climate, healthcare, culture
