Can conversion disorder have a radical response to treatment due to placebo effect? Can this go on for years?

Also, there comes ptosis. I can imagine my legs week. I can't imagine my right eyelid to stop working correctly while my left one works happily along. Is this the deciding factor that makes the differential diagnosis?
