C-Mom good luck to you and I wish for the best - that is that nothing is up and the tingling is nothing.
I have an MRI story for you. When I was 24 I lost vision in one eye so thus I had an MRI - I brought all my CDs that they tell you to bring and that helped a little but really not much because you really don't listen to them, you just lay there panicking.
When the results came back I had a lot of spots on my brain - like calcium desposits. So I was then sent down the road of finding out if I had MS. When I went to see the neurologist he got very angry that anyone said the words MS to me at all - told me no way do I need a spinal tap and here's why: At the time, there was very little data on what a healthy young brain looked like. Calcium deposits and spots are normal on an older brain, but they really don't know exactly what normal is on a 24 yo. Also, I sometimes get mirgraines and every time you do, you get a spot on your brain (that part alone is scary enough, hunh). So therefore, he said, lets just wait and see if you get any further symptons like tingling in the arms and lose my eyesight in one eye again. Thus he saved me from having to have a spinal tap - saved me from freaking out entirely, and basically its now 11 years later and here I am with no further symptons.
Its still in the back of my mind, but that one neurologist lifted the weight of the world from my shoulders.
My moral of my story is even if you have symptons of a very scary issue, often times thats all it is - symptons, not the real deal. Relax and let the medical professionals tell you when to worry - until then live each day as if nothing were there to worry about.

(just kidding)
Of course, some of the bigger strollers have storage capabilities for diaper bags and all the other baby needs. Maybe a mom can recommend the perfect travel stroller.
This sounds horrible. 
I wish I could go down there right now and give you a big ol' hug. Wait I have an idea...forget the pills...I say we have a big party, fill you up on margaritas or any other VERY potent adult beverage of your choice 
Sure wish it were that easy...I'm so sorry this is happening to you...you're in my thoughts and prayers 
For a baby gift, a shifty salesperson talked my sweetheart of a brother into paying an OBSCENE amount of $$$ for our super-light, super-easy to manage stroller and it was truly worth every penny. Not bulky at all and had all the bells and whistles you could imagine....I still think he paid way too much for it but gotta admit I just loved that stroller 
I can't wait for the season openers of Extreme Home makeover (need to get my Ty fix & NC Beast likes Paige on that show) and Desparate Housewives.
Hi All!!!!!
and although I love it and still use it for my niece and nephew, I think it cost too much. But to answer your question, our stroller is an Aprica and sorry to say I can't remember the exact model but my neighbor has a new Aprica very similar to ours and she paid around $450-500. But she definitely loves hers too! 
yesterday?
