John Ronald Reuel Tolkien was born in Bloemfontein in the Orange Free State, now South Africa, to Arthur and Mabel Tolkien. The Tolkiens were English by nationality but had recently moved to the region as Arthur, a bank employee, pursued a lucrative career opportunity.
deleted_user 07/22/2008. Is your hyperthyroidism caused by Grave's Disease. Itchy skin is a staple symptom of Grave's disease. I have hyperthyroidism caused by Grave's disease and still have itchy skin, even though my thyroid levels have come down to normal after RAI. My dr. has not diagnosed me as having Graves Disease.
Graves disease is classified as an autoimmune disorder, one of a large group of conditions that occur when the immune system attacks the body's own tissues and organs. In people with Graves disease, the immune system creates a protein (antibody) called thyroid-stimulating immunoglobulin (TSI).n people with Graves disease, the thyroid is overactive and makes more hormones than the body needs. The condition usually appears in mid-adulthood, although it may occur at any age. Excess thyroid hormones can cause a variety of signs and symptoms.
