Do you mean "Psoriatic arthritis"?
No mention is seen made in the medical literature on Psoriatic rhumatism.
Treatment of psoriatic arthritis involves medication, patient education, and physical and occupational therapy.
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications (NSAIDS) or salicylates are used to reduce pain and inflammation of the joints. More severe arthritis requires treatment with more powerful drugs called disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDS). Occasionally, particularly painful joints may be injected with steroid medications.
Recently, new medications have been introduced. Inhibitors of the inflammatory protein called tumor necrosis factor (TNF) are fast becoming the treatment of choice. These include etanercept (Enbrel), infliximab (Remicade), and adalimumab (Humira).
Rarely, surgery to repair or replace damaged joints will be performed.
Get rest and exercise. To increase mobility, physical therapy provides exercise programs for specific joints. Heat and cold applications, or hydrotherapy may also be used.(MedlinePlus)
The underlying process in psoriatic arthritis is inflammation, therefore treatments are directed at reducing and controlling inflammation. NSAIDs such as diclofenac and naproxen are usually the first line medication.
Other treatment options for this disease include joint injections with corticosteroids - this is only practical if a few joints are affected.
If acceptable control is not achieved using NSAIDs or joint injections then second line treatments with immunosuppressants such as methotrexate are added to the treatment regimen. An advantage of immunosuppressive treatment is that it also treats the psoriasis in addition to the arthropathy.
Recently, a new class of therapeutics developed using recombinant DNA technology called Tumor necrosis factor inhibitors have come available, for example, infliximab and etanercept. These are becomingly increasingly commonly used but are usually reserved for the most severe cases. As more is learned regarding the long-term safety of these biologic agents there is a trend toward earlier use to prevent irreversible joint destruction.(Wikipedia)

Digestive Wellness by Elizabeth Lipski has a good discussion of psoriasis and arthritis disorders and offers many natural remedy suggestions. For more interesting options your might look at The Aspirin Alternative by Michael Loes, and The Miracle of MSM by Jacob and Lawrence. The best remedy is often highly subjective and individuals vary widely in their response to different approaches. Good luck in finding what works best for you!
