No money I totally get that so here is a super safe alternative for you and it does work. If it doesn't then you need to bite the bullet and go to the doctor.
Plain, unsweetened, YOGURT that is high in Probiotic content (check in your organic or natural food department of a high quality grocery store).
Dip a tampon in the yogurt and insert it for overnight wear. The Probiotic is active and it eats up all the bacteria. You may need to repeat.
Don't believe me? Here is a site for you and you can also do your own keyword search "yogurt for vaginal yeast infections".
Eat some yogurt everyday to prevent this itchy problem.

Boric acid can be toxic if too much is delivered to your blood stream... so taking it orally or (heaven forbid) injecting it would be very toxic. But transmucosal / transdermal absorption is not very effective, so as a vaginal suppository (or foot soak for athlete's foot) it's perfectly safe.
Since you've used boric acid before, you'll know there's a significant increase to watery vaginal discharge while you're using the suppositories. I generally recommend 1/day for 7 days to kick stubborn BV or yeast infections. And you'll want to be sure to follow up with a good probiotic to replete the healthy vaginal flora afterward... You can take them orally or even use a normal probiotic capsule as a vaginal suppository once or twice after boric acid treatment. Look for a probiotic that contains L. caseii as that's the predominant healthy bacteria in the vaginal environment.
Here's a link to some websites that offer ready-made boric acid capsules...

I am a nurse and have never heard of such a thing. Go to the drug store and buy something over the counter, the pharmacist can help you choose one.
Do you douche? If you do you should stop, that can be a cause of yeast infections. The douche gets rid of the good bacteria in your vagina.
You can also try eating yogurt.
