I awoke in the middle of the night with simultaneous diarrhea and vomiting. I had eaten out approximately 7 hours earlier. I have awful cramps, blackish liquid stool, and I cannot keep any food down. I am also alternately sweating and freezing.

I am sorry to say, it sounds like you have food poisoning.
You may find this article helpful when trying to differentiate food poisoning from viral gastroenteritis, commonly called the stomach flu.

Here are some tips from WebMD:
Call your physician immediately if the diarhea lasts more than 3 days, you ate seafood or mushrooms, you have a fever, dark stools or blood in your stool and prolonged vomiting that prevents you from keeping fluids down.
I hope you feel well soon,
