Lip biopsy result

I received the result of my lip biopsy, it says the biopsy shows features consistent with sjogren's but level of inflammation is low, with a focus score of 1.2.Any ideas anyone? I just want a diagnosis and some treatment.

Not altogether sure as mine was five years ago. I have got a pic of lab results somewhere so will look but mine was 5/5 so 100% positive focus score. Lots inflammation always and I also test positive now in blood for systemic sclerosis.

I think yours means weakly positive for seronegative Sjögren’s. If you have all symptoms plus positive score then they hopefully will diagnose and would offer you Hydroxichloraquine.
