For me I think its very poor game design to make people look in a couple submenus to find out what diseases they have or spell effects are on them. I think that there should be some sort of visual icon on the screen with an icon for each spell effect or disease. At the very least I would like instant notification I've gotten the disease which causes vampirism

That is why TES games are soooo great. Mods can add features and change the games in very positive ways
