This is IDENTICAL to what I am going through with DS, who is 9 months. Was doing better, waking 1-2x a night, then got insanely sick and has been up every two hours since and will only sleep on me. We tried CIO two months ago and he cried for over 2 hours I really, really wish I could give you advice of something that worked for us but I have nothing except exhausted commiseration...and hoping someone else will chime in with some ideas I can use too!

Yeah, I work about 25 hours a week. And drink approximately one Diet Coke per working hour, LOL...
As soon as I get the ok from the dr, I'm going to try CIO again for the first wake-up, to see if I can get him back down to 2 wake-ups a night...blech, he has a twin sister who has gone from STTN to waking 1-2x a night too, some nights I literally don't sleep between 12-4 am!

around 12 months, LO went through a sleep regression--i wonder if it is the same for your LO? previously i had not believed in sleep regressions, until LO would wake up at unexpected times and cry/want to hang out for 2 hours. in the middle of the friggin night. this happened sporadically for a period of 2 weeks, and then it just stopped. he usually just wakes once around 4am, but during that period he was waking at 10pm, 12am and 1am. it was really hard because there was nothing we could do--his cries were really frantic. i hope that this goes away for your soon, whatever method you use. sorry that's not that helpful but just wanted to let you know that you are not alone, and it does sound like a phase (regression, maybe illness, whatever).
