Request an order for an MRI brain/head with contrast from your family physician, and follow up with a Neurologist ASAP.  

Bell's palsy can last up to a year, but since it has been over a year for you I would see a Neurologist to rule out any other conditions/problems.  

Keep us posted.

Forgot to add, there have been cases when this Bell's palsy condition did not resolve.  I think you should definitely be seeing a Neurologist to sort your situation out.
