Default Tremor hard to treat

I have all tremor types (lucky me)...

Started with action, postural, and now resting. Prior to PD diagnosis, I responded to a beta-blocker. Now l-dopa helps me so much that tremor rarely emerges anymore. I also still respond to a beta-blocker.

From what I have heard, tremor is not always responsive to ldopa. I have heard it can be hard to treat, so I feel fortunate.
