I find it extremely useful to have a weak Restore Strength enchantment put on some item (you probably have a fair chance to do it yourself at 1 point for 2 or 3 seconds if you took Enchanting a a minor, or else pay to have it done), and use it repeatedly as needed. That will gradually recharge over time, so you don't have to keep replacing scrolls or potions. It's either that, carry a heap of Restore scrolls or potions, learn the spell and have sufficient Restoration skill to cast it, or at least have some means of casting an Intervention spell if you intend to dungeon-dive, because of those hated Greater Bonewalkers and a few occasional NPC casters.
In the case of diseases lowering your attributes, you need to cure the disease; restoring the attributes won't work.
