prednisone pulls calcium from bones dont know how much it would take or how long use would have to be for it to show up on a blood test. Although it could be several things I'd definitely get a dr to figure it out your kidneys will be pulling the calcium out of your blood and it can reform as kidney stones which are a major major major pain. Caffene also causes kidney stones so as long as your calcium is elevated I'd stay away from caffene.
I had a kidney stone one time and I can say it was some of the worst pain Ive ever been in. It made me nauseous, I threw up several times, and it felt like someone was stabbing me in the back with a wide flat head screwdriver and twisting, like ringing out a towel. It was awful I hope I never have one again.
