Vancomycin - side effects after prolonged use

Link: HighWire Press -- Medline Abstract.

CONCLUSIONS:: The results suggest that aggressive vancomycin dosing and prolonged vancomycin administration may be associated with greater risk for renal toxicity in patients with MRSA HCAP. However, this retrospective study cannot establish causation, and a prospective, randomized, double-blind trial is needed.

Hi,
I have had reoccuring MRSA outbreaks for 8 years now, and I am willing to participate in a double-blind study.
I have bad ringing in my ears due to heavy doses and prolonged use of vancomyicin.
I acquired MRSA while in the military on maneuvers and deployments.
