"After all" isn't really used like this. I can't really explain it so I'll try to show it.
Ex: "After all, you can't be in two places at once"

Ex: "He was, after all, extremely talented".

It's best to put yourself at the end of a series of references to other people: "She liked him and me" (better than "She liked me and him").

I think I would say "before" here instead of "until" although both make sense. The difference between the two is somewhat slight and often unclear. As I understand it, “until” emphasizes the moment when something happens. An example where until is better: "Do not let your feet start moving until the gun fires." Until emphasizes the gun shot as a defining moment or trigger where the runner starts. “Before” emphasizes a period of time sequence or precondition. An example where before is better: "Most children do not start school before their sixth birthday." A sixth birthday is not always the direct trigger before starting school, some may start later, so until would be too abrupt.

'suffered' (-ed) is past tense, but sense you are talking in the present moment of that time having the verb 'to suffer' shouldn't be in past especially since you already emphasized that with 'suspected' (-ed) already past tense.
