Hi Penny! Congrats!!!! I hope you understand what your results mean. You doctor should have taken the time to explain to you whats going on inside your mouth. Try checking out some of the main pages on OCF. Here is a link and if you click on the blue writing it will give you more detailed info. This should help you to understand the lab wording.
OCF main pages, diagnosis

Try to think of this as your wake up call. Continue to avoid cigarettes, alcohol and mouthwash with alcohol in it. You dont want to irritate your sensitive mouth.

Best wishes with your healing. Be well!!!
