Porphyria can cause neuropathies. There are other symptoms with it, abdominal pain, various skin eruptions, which you do not mention.

One common cause of autonomic neuropathy is impaired glucose tolerance. This is the beginning of pre-diabetes, and shows up as elevated INSULIN fasting levels. Blood sugars are typically normal at fasting, or show a reactive hypoglycemia.

There are studies showing that diabetic neuropathies begin before the frank diabetes with elevated blood sugar results.
