When someone takes an opioid painkiller and the result is that they do not get euphoric or high, but instead they just feel good or normal, that to me is a really strong clue as to what is going on.
Some foreign substances have a strong affinity for our opioid receptors. The substances are strong enough that our own opioids lose out in the competition. But something does have stronger affinity than those substances, and that is opioid meds. They are strong enough to kick the bad substances out and replace them with the med, similar to our own opioids except ours are too weak to compete.
The substances I am referring to are the toxins of a stealth hidden unsuspected infection, most commonly lyme disease but there are others very similar and treated the same way. The toxins cause the symptoms in the brain, but the pain pills compete with them for the same receptors, and the toxins get kicked out. They you feel better. Normal. Good. But not euphoric.
That to me is a pretty strong diagnostic clue. It is not a "mileage varies" kind of thing.
