Well, first of all, if you aren't eating a good balance of SF and IF fiber foods, including lean meats and *plenty* of vegetables, then you should definitely be taking a multivitamin. They can be irritating to the GI tract, but I've been taking my good ol' Flintstones chewables for years now, and they're the only vitamin that hasn't given me stomach problems. Give them a try!
You could also be taking a vitamin C supplement. Be sure to read the ingredients, to make sure that you're buying on that's sweetened with sugar, and doesn't contain ANY artificial sweeteners.
You could also try echinacea. I know there's debate about whether or not it really helps boost immune function, but I can only tell you my personal experience: I kick respiratory sicknesses in 1/3 to 1/2 the time if I take the stuff. Any health food store will carry echinacea, and even some supermarkets and Walmarts carry it now.
With any supplement, to minimize the possibility of it causing you GI distress, I'd take it immediately after a small, SAFE meal.
If you're not getting treatment for your depression, you should seriously think about that too. Medication can be a huge help, but even therapy or hypno (if your depression is more health-related than just a general problem) will help you deal with it more effectively. Depression really CAN take a serious toll on your health, and I'm afraid that most other helps for your immune system might not be of any use if you continue to be so low.
Finally, a couple more practical things: be sure you're dressed appropriately for the weather, and fergodsakes, get enough sleep! Lack of sleep really beats up your body, too.
Good luck with your xrays... and hope you feel better soon!
