This sort of situation is very stressful, and stress is bad for your recovery. During periods when I was having struggles with my employer I did not really progress with my recovery at all, which I feel was because the constant stress was using up all the energy I needed for healing.

Getting these other people involved is I think a good idea. I got my neurologist and union rep to write to my employer. The more you can get other people to fight your battles for you the less stressed you should be, hopefully.

Best wishes!
