Default RSD and Disability Insurance

Hello All! I need some help. I have applied for disability through my work's short-term/long-term disability insurance carrier. They have denied my claim even though records document RSD/CRPS in my face and all four extremities. Does anyone with RSD who has gone through this process have any tips or recommendations for me?The medical review staff with the insurance company said that I could do sedentary work and my records did not indicate otherwise.

I had a functional capacity evaluation (FCE), but it only tested my strengths and weaknesses. It did not test anything related to using my hands all day at work, etc.

I am obviously going to appeal, but would appreciate any helpful information.
Thanks!!
Nanc
