Puzzling:

What doses of the vitamins were you taking? And how were you taking them?

It sounds like you have an absorption problem.

This is the injection information:
http://www.medicinenet.com/calcitrio...le/article.htm

When Vit D is so low, you cannot absorb calcium from food. The parathyroid then sends out signals to rob your bones of calcium and this sometimes overshoots and raises calcium in the blood temporarily. This is probably what your doctors are thinking.

You may need megadoses of P5P, methylfolate and methylcobalamin. If there is serious inflammation of the small intestine, absorption will be blunted for everything you consume. You may have to get your Bs by injection too.

Have you had your kidneys tested? Elevated phosphate sometimes signals kidney trouble.
