There's no doubt that the symptoms are real for some people but, as you say, dozens of "double blind" medical studies have shown no evidence that anyone is actually sensitive to WiFi, which is why the medical term for the condition has been changed from "electromagetic hypersensitivity disorder" (EHD) to "Idiopathic Environmental Intolerance attributed to electromagnetic fields" (IEI-EMF) ("Idiopathic" means "of unknown cause"). There's a summary of the medical studies here:

The most likely explanation, as the above link suggests, is a "nocebo effect" - ie exposure to something that you think will make you feel ill really does make you feel ill. The symptoms are real, even if the cause is purely psychological.
