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.
Gravesâ disease is a frequent eye structure disorder. In 1835 Robert Graves described three patients, who had bulging eyes (exophthalmos) associated with thyroid gland enlargement (diffuse goiter), overactive thyroid gland (hyperthyroidism) and swelling of the skin covering the shins (pretibial myxedema). A parallel report was published by Carl Von Basedow in 1840.
