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.

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.
Other causes. Itching can also be related to parasites such as threadworms, insects such as bedbugs, mosquitoes, or lice. Fungal infections such as athlete's foot can also cause itching between and around the toes. Itchy skin could also be due to more serious medical conditions. Nerve disorders caused by diabetes, pinched nerves, and shingles can cause severe itching.
