The Polish woman who thinks she's Madeleine McCann plans to sue the doctor who prescribed her 35 pills to take every day, according to the private investigator probing her claims.

Dr Fia Johansson, a self-professed psychic as well as an investigator, previously said that Julia Wendell was forced to take the cocktail of pills from the age of seven.

Julia, 21, shot to fame after sharing supposed evidence on Instagram suggesting she is Madeleine, the Leicestershire girl who went missing from Portugal in 2007.

Julia is said to suffer from debilitating bone aches and recurrent nose bleeds.

Dr Johansson told RadarOnline that Julias health woes might be the side effect of prescription pill poisoning. She is currently undergoing further tests.

Attempts to get Julias medical records from her old psychiatrist have apparently been rebuffed, despite Julia being a full and legal adult.

Dr Johansson and Julia say they have since hired a lawyer to try and get the documents from the psychiatrist, who treated Julia for around three-and-a-half years.

We still dont know what type of side effects she got from (the) 35 pills, and we are still trying to get (the) medical chart, that the doctor (who) prescribed all those pills (and) which they are still not answering us, they are not telling us whats going on," Dr Johansson told RadarOnline.

They are actually going to, no matter what, because (there) is going to be a lawsuitWe are going to go through it in a way where they have no choice. They have to actually give us an answer.

Julia said that this isnt the first time she has had to fight to get her medical records.

As an adult, she recalled an incident where she drove her supposed mother to the doctor's office and took the opportunity to ask him about the pills he prescribed to treat a nervous tic she developed as a child.

When I asked him if he (could) give me (my) medical chart because I want to see what types of medicine I took when I was young, and he said no, she said.

I said that I am 18 and he said no you should talk with (your) mother first.

I wanted to go to (a) lawyerbut I (didnt) have the money so I couldnt do anything with this. But its my right in Poland that after turning 18 years old I can get all my medical charts.
