Shared Stories from Cindy Pulliam

My name is Cindy Pulliam.  I have lived with Epilepsy all of my life since I was 7 months old.  The doctors never determined the cause of my epilepsy.  I lived a semi-normal childhood considering my mother sheltered me.  I was always told as a youth growing up that I would never be able to drive and that I would never be able to live on my own. 

I am now 39 years old divorced and soon to be remarried.  I had two beautiful children.

 My son's name was Tony and he passed away from Congestive Heart Failure 19 years ago.

I am involved with Camp Fire USA and every year we hold a fund raiser for the scholarship program that I set up for her in her memory.  I also lecture to High School Psychology students about Epilepsy.  That not only helps me to deal with what I have but it helps me deal with what happened to my beautiful daughter.
